    Hi guys,

    I am not articulate enough, but should somebody start a petition on change.org to make the public aware of the finance act 2014 with our damn APNs!

      Sure,but I figured there are a few "groups" already it might be better to have a unified message then me setting something up on the side as well, just giving some courtesy for the other organisers who already have something established,etc.

      I am not passing the buck, more than happy to help. If no one replies I will set one up mid this week.

          Only 16 until now. Contractors don't want to help themselves for some reason

            Contractors insist on individualism, even when it goes against logic, their own interests, and self-conservation instinct.

            Needless to say, it will be their demise.

              Or maybe...

              ...contractors are cynical about the power of an online petition.

              Anyway, I've signed up.

              With regards the text - is it worth pointing out that the Govt & HMRC are in a many-year process of spending millions of pounds of tax payers' money causing real distress to their favourite 'hard working families' in order to recover a target which is roughly comparable to the amount the chancellor just gifted, in one fell swoop, his city mates by allowing them to buy bank shares back at a knock-down price??

              It certainly p!sses me off!

                There is an ongoing pattern (in many areas) it seems with contractors over this debacle.

                "Distinct lack of motivation to stand up and fight TOGETHER"

                No wonder the S**t and retrospective legislation the Government keep spewing out gets past unchallenged !!!

                    Can you explain why MPs are immune from APN legislation?

                    PS. There was this before:
