Guest repliedWhat I was trying to get at LB is that without the backing of the PCG and lots of donations the Arctic people would have absolutely no way of affording to "fight" against the IR rulings.Not really a good example. The revenue's view has prevailed at both the commissioners and the high court. As the number of affected companies is large, I would say it is completely the opposite of pointless (from the revenue's point of view, that is).
Hence why I believe it should be the IR who foot the entire bill of any "review" regardless of whether extra tax is raised or not.

Guest repliedI think they should tax the poor. How about reversing all the thresholds so the less you earn the higher percentage you pay? Bet we would be the nost productive country in the world in a few years.
Random tax rates would be good too, if you got a zero bill one year and owed £200k the next you would never know if tax dodges were worth bothering with or not.

IR to pay for pointless inspections?
Sounds good to me...in fact Id go so far as to say that the IR should be paying for ALL pointless inspections regardless of whether any extra tax revenue is raised or not.
This I think would certainly stop pointless and baseless actions, like the current Arctic case, from proceeding :rollin
But then again...Ive said it once before and Ill say it again...the IR should introduce a flat rate tax system that makes it pointless to avoid paying tax because the savings you make wouldnt be worth the effort you go to avoid paying that tax! I know, Im a true visionary :rollin
