    No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

    Just heard that - and all those guys who said that they were safe, that they weren't "avoiding" tax like the BN66 people - just claiming the expenses they legally could. Bollocks.

    No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

    Montpelier. Unlikely - given how much HMRC appear to dislike Montpelier, I'd imagine any "deal" will have been done with HMRC insisting it remain entirely confidential. Do you actually think Montpelier would be quiet about something like that anyway? Clearly it would be in their best...

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

    Really? And the editorial slant won't be that we're all a bunch of money grabbing tax dodgers? Forgive me if I don't look convinced.

    Thank you. I didn't spot that.

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

    Not sure that will even be possible. The notes issued today don't mention any kind of right of appeal with the accelerated payment notices. I guess it is something that will be detailed when the legislation is published. One thing is for sure. That whole consultation process was a monumental...

    BN66 - Court of Appeal and beyond

    Have you asked them to do it?

    BN66 - Court of Appeal and beyond

    ? False Hope? Because they are fighting for something which we all believe is right? Would you rather they didn't? I'm sure if you are not interested in an appeal, HMRC would be more than happy to settle with you - if you think you can do better, go ahead. For me & the rest of us who need...

    BN66 - Round 2 (Court of Appeal)

    Don't forget closure notices are being sent out all the time so it doesn't mean anything with the timing. And the 2nd payment on account for 31 July is due soon. Statement reminders are being sent out at the moment for that so it's not suprising people are getting statements, it just happens to...

    BN66 - Round 2 (Court of Appeal)

    My friend had a very small exposure - only about £7k in tax, in total - MP told him a CTD would probably be less beneficial to him than a savings account given how little he actually owed. His liability related to 03/04 when interest on savings was much better than today. So was it the same for...

    BN66 - Round 2 (Court of Appeal)

    I bet you would find that the vast majority of firms who run Tax Avoidance schemes are structured in this way, with ties to the Carribean and other Tax Free states etc. It's not that unusual.

    Come clean how? Everything has already been declared.
