It was always illegal, they just clarified the law later.

Why did they need to clarify the law if it was already illegal?

We were always quite happy to fight the law as it was.

[EternalOptimist]

So retrospection is ok for s58 - but not for nonces?

Not at all.
HMRC are not upholding the law and are a law unto themselves

I think the rule of thumb is,

nothing when ones got their thumb deep upside.

You pay tax => You are in the system and you get harassed.

You don't pay any tax => You are not in the system.

There is however nothing stopping Her Majesty's Rascal C**ts to crap on your face.

I think the rule of thumb is, if you are going to use a loophole to avoid or evade tax, dont take the piss. If you avoid 100K of tax and are in the high earning bracket, you can be sure at some point HMRC's radar will pick it up.

No-one in S58 is accused of evasion.

Is it illegal?

[BrilloPad]

The judge is correct. He is saying that he upholds the law and he is not a law unto himself.

Whatever HMRC says is illegal, which is evading.

Can you define "dodge"? Do you mean avoid or evade?

He will look great with glitter on his chocolate starfish. I sincerely hope that there is coarse sand on it.
