"Gordon Brown’s decision to green-light a proposal for tighter self-assessment deadlines without consulting the affected parties is being attacked by small businesses and their advisors.
The decision, which was announced in the Chancellor’s Budget in March, springs from a recommendation by Lord Carter of Cole – who was tasked to review HMRC’s online services.
His recommendation, which was immediately accepted by the government, was for paper self assessment tax returns to be received by HM Revenue & Customs by the end of September."
Presumably Gordo's going for the quick win, like:
- giving SME's less time to organise their tax affairs, tripping themselves up in the process & getting fines
- giving SME's less time for profits to sit on high interest deposit before coughing up to Hector
- I'm sure there are others
This guy takes the biscuit. Having said on the Today prog that SMEs are the engine of growth in the country, he then behaves like a Terry Feckwit over something like this. Gawd I hate him, he's a real *****.
