Signed up for the TAA-FTT and 900 smackers sent off as requested - a big thanks to the NTRT team for getting us to this stage. I wonder if HMRC realise what is about to hit them? Let the fun begin!!
My thoughts exactly. It would be nice to dream that Robbers and Crooks genuinely want to deal with us as individuals and quietly sweep it all beneath carpet, but 9 years of bitter experience leads me to believe otherwise. Divide and conquer as you say, with a generous helping of prevarication to...

I totally agree with this and all the other positive responses posted over the last couple of days. There is window of opportunity here, Robbers and Crooks are on the back foot, lying through their teeth and resorting to ever more ridiculous countermeasures. In...

Great news. I think we have suffered before from playing the long game. The potential embarrassment to HMRC now looks huge. So let's rock 'n roll, cheque book at the ready. Chocks away!

I believe we should press ahead with a request for a FTT. A good point was made that if we had done this 8 years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess now. A review by HMRC will yield no more than our previous attempt via the Ombudsman (I forget the proper title). So let's press on...

I hope that the names of the HMRC officials who signed or re-sent these doctored letters are being recorded and forwarded to NTRT so that these relevant individuals can be taken to court to appear along with Mr B and the other lying bar stewards...
I haven't received one either. Two of my colleagues have though; interestingly although they were both in the scheme for the same years, the APN warning letter quoted different years for the two of them! Reading some of the other recent posts here, Hector seems to be making a right pig's ear...
Brillo, even a giant of this thread like yourself has now been brainwashed by the ruling Junta - you used the word 'evasion' to describe our scheme; it was actually 'avoidance!!' I know what you mean 'though. Chin up!
Any thoughts on using this once in 5 year opportunity to expose/shame/tarnish/confront Gauke the Duplicitous during his constituency or media appearances in the run up to May 7th?
I note your point, and am appreciative of the legal challenges mounted by MontP to date (albeit unsuccessfully), but given that the powers of darkness appear willing to move heaven and earth to nail W.G. personally, it may be better distancing ourselves from MontP on this one.

Like others who have posted recently, this forum has been very much a part of my life for the last 5 years or so, and I have found it both a source of much useful information and also a moral support; and at times a humorous diversion to cut through the depression. However I agree...

Whilst trawling through some old e-mail archive files, I stumbled upon this little gem, dating from May 2010 - just before the last general election. It was a response from the Libdem prospective parliamentary candidate for my constituency, and answers a letter I had...
In the earlier days of the scheme, the deductions by MTM/Montpelier were
1) 3% for MTM (Scheme provider)
2) 3% for Montpelier (at that time an 'Agency')
3) A further 4% for MTM - deferred until such time as your tax return was eventually accepted by the IR. If your tax return was not accepted...
