That is the disguised remuneration legislation from around 2010/11, I've not seen anything in FA2014 to suggest MPs are excluded from that?

And even in the disguised remuneration legislation, it effectively just says that the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is not a third-party when dealing with MPs. IPSA is a 'body corporate' that pays MPs expenses, pensions and salaries but does not employee MPs. So it makes sense that they are not treated as a third-party. But MPs are still not exempted. So if you want to created a tax charge for David Gauke you still can ("Hey Dave, I've got an old iPad you can have because I think you are doing a fantastic job as an MP. You'll have to come and get it but in the meantime I've put it on top of the fridge for you" - then you write to IPSA to suggest they operate PAYE on the earmarked iPad and its £100 value).

And there is nothing in FA2014 to exempt MPs from FNs/APNs/PPNs.

Can you explain why MPs are immune from APN legislation?

PS. There was this before:

Thanks for sharing that link. Here's an article Why should MPs be exempt from new law to block tax avoidance? – Telegraph Blogs

Thanks for the support so far!

ALL pls bear in mind your name is NOT ON the petition so pls sign up! We like to address this topic to the public!

There is an ongoing pattern (in many areas) it seems with contractors over this debacle.

"Distinct lack of motivation to stand up and fight TOGETHER"

No wonder the S**t and retrospective legislation the Government keep spewing out gets past unchallenged !!!

[Axeman]

Or maybe...

...contractors are cynical about the power of an online petition.

Anyway, I've signed up.

With regards the text - is it worth pointing out that the Govt & HMRC are in a many-year process of spending millions of pounds of tax payers' money causing real distress to their favourite 'hard working families' in order to recover a target which is roughly comparable to the amount the chancellor just gifted, in one fell swoop, his city mates by allowing them to buy bank shares back at a knock-down price??

It certainly p!sses me off!

Only 16 until now. Contractors don't want to help themselves for some reason

Contractors insist on individualism, even when it goes against logic, their own interests, and self-conservation instinct.

Needless to say, it will be their demise.

Sure,but I figured there are a few "groups" already it might be better to have a unified message then me setting something up on the side as well, just giving some courtesy for the other organisers who already have something established,etc.

I am not passing the buck, more than happy to help. If no one replies I will set one up mid this week.

Hi all, just started a petition, pls vote. Also pls PM me if you like me to edit any contents or facts

Hi guys,

I am not articulate enough, but should somebody start a petition on change.org to make the public aware of the finance act 2014 with our damn APNs!
