Can wee make this sticky?
It'd cheer people up, a wee bit, if new arrivals get to see that the Nudge Unit is responsible for a lot of the stress we all feel.
It's calculated.

HMRC gives litigants a nudge | AccountingWEB
"Tax planning, tax avoidance, tax mitigation...however you want to describe it and of course it is perfectly in order to resist HMRC from putting the largest shovel in one's stores. So long as it is within the law.
Interesting that many are happy to give their opinions (not fact) on how the law should have worked and then back HMRC in their wish to dispense with tradition and rules and propose a law sometime in the future, which impacts upon planning undertaken many years ago within the law that existed at that time. Interesting that many seem to know better than the QC's. However, HMRC do not make the law. They may propose something, but it's Parliament that creates the law and seeks Royal assent.
I find it intriguing that HMRC have positioned this 3 years hence and then work on getting Accountants to influence clients to throw in the towel, despite the fact that there is no such law as things stand, further, we don't know what the law might be if it arrives and therefore what settlement would amount to. The idea that the 3 year period is to allow loans to be repaid is misleading and does not explain why the Government did not act to stop any new loans being created from the date of the budget.
I also find it intriguing that HMRC think it better to employ, no that's wrong, not employ but contract the services of behavioural psychologists to influence peoples behaviour, rather than work within the law. Any behavioural psychologist would know that one way to create stress is to remove any feeling of certainty and create an atmosphere of uncertainty.
Check Companies House for Behavioural Insights Ltd. A company apparently part owned by the Treasury and part by individuals...and part by an EBT!. This company achieved Turnover of £4.8 million and profit of £1,4 million in it's first period of trading. Impressive for a start-up. Who are/is its main customer(s)?

Imagine for a moment, now I am not saying this is true, but just imagine that I could convince everyone to give in and settle between now and 2019 under threat of what the law might be one day....then I wouldn't actually need the law to be passed."Tags: None
