No To Retro Tax – Campaign Against Section 58 Finance Act 2008

WG trial

7th Sep. Liverpool Crown Court. I have tried to find a relative to attend - but no luck so far. I have no idea how long it is due to last and when the verdict is due. Or even if it is a trial by jury.

started on Monday 1st Sept.

I would think that each country's debtors would be taken into account in the respective final balance sheets when they are drawn up for the two countries. It would then be up to each country to pursue these debtors within their own country, should they feel that is the right course of action. The interesting thing though is that an independent Scotland would have a constitution. If this is to be like those of other countries with constitutions, it may well outlaw retrospective changes in the law. Had the UK had such a constitution, this may well have prevented the entire debacle we are currently faced with.

In any event, I think independence would result in the can being kicked well down the road, and probably would be low on the priorities of a new independent Scotland, pursuing perhaps a couple of hundred citizens with complex historical tax histories.

All in all, probably a reason to vote Yes.

Perhaps not?

The balance sheet at separation says that UK is owed 100 but because the person is now in Scotland, please pursue them and collect and when you do UK will pay Scotland the 20 I owe you. If you don't collect it, I'll not pay you, in fact I may even retain 80 from something else I owe you.

Just speculating?

If he goes down we are totally stuffed. To be fair, probably we are totally stuffed anyway.

If he goes down we are totally stuffed.

Why is that?

[BrilloPad]

Why is that?

We will lose his legal advice and probably his money too. I can't see him funding a defence for the FTTT when in prison - or funding the ECHR case. I might be wrong.

I just hope common sense will prevail and he is found innocent - then we don't have to find out.
