Originally posted by TulipSmartGropeYou know its nice to see someone creating a fuss but lets be honest, its all rather pointless as HMRC do have a valid argument. think about all those full-time employees who pay full tax v's savvy contractors who pay less than 15% overall tax.

I had an IPSE Press officer contact me today about my response to their survey. He was interested in pushing the effect on the end clients. He wanted some more background information and also if I would be interested in talking to some journalists.
I don't mind talking to IPSE but not sure about journalists. They'll want to talk to my client and I don't want to jeopardise my relationship with my client.

The more people that are prepared to put their hands up and say "this hurts my business in this specific way" the better.Exactly

The consultation doesn't ask for specific information to identify you or your business. This is just scaremongering and will put people off taking part.
Please dont do it.

The questions that they're looking for responses to are on p23. The email address is at the bottom of the document, and on the landing page.
Try and present your arguments in response to the questions asked.May not make any difference but if lots of us do it then it just might...
Actually who am I kidding. They don't care, they just want more tax out of us. but just maybe...

It sounds as though he's sourcing questions from a particular list, such as Labour party members perhaps.I'm not sure whether using his constituency contact would work, but I'd guess not.
Never mind, it was a good idea

I thought at my first PMQs, I would do it in a slightly different way... So I sent out an email to thousands of people and asked them what questions they would like to put to the prime minister and I received 40,000 replies.I'm not sure whether using his constituency contact would work, but I'd guess not.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostDefinitely worth a go, because it's supposedly being continued. However, I suspect this is a flaw in JC's plan, depending on how he intends to source these questions, because other interest groups will be thinking exactly the same thing.
