Common Sense Common Sense Big accountancy firm accused of saving people money "we tend to look at the laws as they are rather than how some people think they should be." Or in our case: purposive interpretation of the law rather than a strict legal interpretation- PlaneSailing

Vendetta Vendetta This is what I find most disconcerting. The CPS seemed convinced that a successful prosecution was likely, but the judge laughed it out of court. There is something fishy here. A simple search for Montpelier and Gittins brings back nothing but negative 'news' stories that...- PlaneSailing

To be clear, there is no such thing as 'aggressive tax avoidance' . HMRC have made this phrase up to justify their actions. I have not avoided any tax. I have paid exactly what was due under the law and detailed this on my tax returns.- PlaneSailing

Answer:Solicitor Answer:Solicitor IMHO the APN legislation will get challenged at a judicial review. Then, as you say, follower notices will also get challenged at a judicial review. I expect this to drag on at least as long as S58. The only people getting rich off this are the lawyers and...- PlaneSailing

I wonder how much the backlog of cases waiting for the tribunal were EBT users? This might remove quite a lot from the queue.- PlaneSailing

Just seen the reason she stood down as a minister. Not declaring employing her spouse on expenses. No mention of how long this went on for. I wonder what the tax saving of employing my partner on expenses is ? It's certainly not a tax maximising strategy. I can't do it on PAYE. Hypocrite of...- PlaneSailing

Why not employ extra judges BEFORE you have a backlog of 65,000 cases? Inept. (Or at least honour your promises in 2007...)- PlaneSailing

And if the Finance Bill Committee, despite overwhelming arguments to the contrary, vote along party lines and pass the APN legislation, this will start again. Rinse, repeat... <cynical> You'd be surprised how many MPs are lawyers </cynical>- PlaneSailing

And then a protracted legal challenge. Again, I think I made the wrong career choice, I should have been a lawyer. They're the only ones getting rich off all this nonsense.- PlaneSailing

The next stage after the adjudicator is the Parliamentary Ombudsmen, and they have a lot more teeth and will not stand for the stone walling. The civil service do not like having them knock on the door andI believe that that is next logical line of attack for the complaint. A complaint to the PO...- PlaneSailing

The S58 vs IR35 debate
Hence the PSC question on the self assessment form. But that would never be used to chase people down would it? Just like the DOTAs number. Oh....- PlaneSailing

Dotas numbers Dotas numbers Looks like the DOTAS numbers are now officially a 'warning sign' and not merely a registration scheme. Is Hector trying to drive people off the radar? Bottom of this article: BBC News - Tax avoidance: What are the rules?- PlaneSailing
