Reply to: Government sponsored extortion!

good for you mate!
The best path in life is the path of least taxation

[Mailman]

who do nothing more than whinge about those who actually make things happen

Speak for yourself buddy - some of us do not whinge about anything tax related, because we do something about it - unlike you docile payer.

Now go and pay for your right to protest legally about how much you have to pay to protest

Excuse me but I havent HAD to pay a penny in taxes Ill have you know!

This issue is squarly about a fee being charged for the hell of it and what exactly Im paying for (I bet Im paying to support someones coffee habit down whitehall!)

I agree with you Mailman - this is so typical of this failing Government and its fat, inefficient departments constantly looking for new ways to fool people into thinking they contribute anything.

I applaud you for complaining mailman and also for making an effort to draw attention to these Gov't parasites.

If it wasn't for the willingness of others to 'try' and fight this rotten Gov't's policies against small business, there wouldn't be the PCG alongside most/all of the other substantive resistance to IR35.

Obviously this fee isn't as malicious as IR35 tries to be but it's the principle.

As Gordon Brown becomes more and more desperate about his ever falling tax receipts; the others who mock you here could do worse than prepare themselves for more stealth taxation by way of superfluous fees.

I have sent a letter to HM Customs ....

I bet they're about that.

Why did you send it to HM Customs? At least complain to the right people.

Or alternatively, just piss and moan on the internet.

Or alternatively just file on line and save yourself £15.

No. Let’s just piss and moan on the internet. That’ll show Tony Blair.

I have sent a letter to HM Customs asking for an explanation as to why such an extortionate fee is payable for merely confirming details they already hold.

I am also in the process of planning a "LEGAL" protest outside Parliament for later this week.

I have petitioned my local MP and am now waiting to see how that goes (hopefully I wont get a restraining order back from the bugger! ).

There, once the Government backs down and changes this fee to £0 I expect all of you sheep, who do nothing more than whinge about those who actually make things happen, to send me £5 each

What are you moaning about planetit?

[planetit]

We should have loud hailers outside the home of every fecking politician and useless indexed linked pension bastard pen pusher of a civil servant in the country telling them 24 hours a day what utter parasite crap they are.

[xoggoth]

Why not moan? Fecking bastards! For the average person in the UK prepared to put in an effort, all the fecking government ever do is take money off us, waste it in whatever stupid ways the elected dictatorship deems fit and give nothing back. In the absense of more effective missiles we should bombard the fecking bastards with complaints night and day. We should have loud hailers outside the home of every fecking politician and useless indexed linked pension bastard pen pusher of a civil servant in the country telling them 24 hours a day what utter parasite crap they are.

Just think Mailman, your money is going to opress some poor child in some fly infested backwater. When it comes time to meet St. Peter it'll be "No entry! Amongst you many many transgressions the worst is your s363 return, there is a special corner of hades reserved just for your kind."

[Mailman]

To return to mailman's original beef - he is quite right of course.

What is it that has cost Company's House £3, let alone £30?

Exactly...all that should happen is that you return the s363 form IF there are any differences or changes in to the details that customs holds on your company....AND it should be free!

And yesterday, no, there is nothing I dont complain about!

The funding for the Iraq War has to come from somewhere, where better than the pockets of the small buisnessman who does not have recourse to an array of expensive lawyers or in Mr Blairs case can create legislation to suit his dubious political ambitions.

Which is only fair, naturally.

[wendigo100]

Farken hell, £30 to lodge a s363 return! And for what...just to confirm the details customs has about my company!

Farken extortion for gods sake!

That is true, why not conduct a peaceful protest ?

Bearing in mind the provisions of the Dangerous Organised Criminal Act, bien sur.

3 points.

1 – Is there nothing in this world that you don’t piss and moan about?

2 – If you really cared about the cost you would know that you can save yourself £15 by filling on line. Have you ever heard of the internet?

3 – What have customs got to do with it?
