Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Jim Harra, director-general of business tax at HMRC, said that the people taking up such schemes are not the “hardworking” majority. “They are the 43,000 affluent people who knowingly signed up to an avoidance scheme in full awareness they were using artificial arrangements to reduce their tax bill. I have no sympathy for these people.”..................................ends

and no neither do I.

In fact they should thank themselves very lucky they arent doing a stretch in prision.

sticky - that is total bollocks and you know it full well

if, to the best of your knowledge and having received all reasonable and sensible professional advice, you are acting within the law, then you are no cheat

however, if your adviser "sucked his teeth" when discussing a suggested tax avoidance scheme, then indeed you have only yourelf to blame

you may recollect many years ago when all sorts of people from many walks of life, lost everything when investing in Lloyds' syndicates, which i'm sure was also some sort of tax shelter
they weren't cheats either, and indeed, i recollect that a number of the syndicates were ultimately found to have screwed their investors ..... i don't remember what happened in the end in those cases

cancer numbers are get worse not better . if they did something about the high street take aways they would find the answers the junk food is killing the people .
and the government knows and says nothing and happy for this to happen .

Wonder if thier still best of Buddys..... LOL LOL LOL

gold agree with you bankrupt the scum.

THEY ARE CHEATS.

REPEAT.......“They are the 43,000 affluent people who knowingly signed up to an avoidance scheme in full awareness they were using artificial arrangements to reduce their tax bill.

why would expect a senior officer at HMRC to take any other stance?

Yes TANKER scum is a more appropriate word.

Im beginning to think Cynic as had a letter from HMRC he does seem to be defending the SCUM very aggresively.

tax avoidance = fine paid into public purse = money squandered by government

not for the first time sticky, you are totally and utterly wrong

personally and clearly very much unlike you and your acolytes, i much prefer to await the courts' verdict after what will undoubtedly be a very complex investigation and argument from both sides

takeaway food is killing people .the dyes they put in to their food is poison .
it is time the health minister took action on this rotten cancer food .

They have to pay up front.

Ill settle for SCUMMY CHEATS.

ever one should pay their taxes if they try to avoid it says they are crooks and want to rob the country . THEY ARE GREEDY SCUM WHO DO NOT WANT TO PAY THEIR TAX

FULL STOP .

IF PEOPLE WANT LIVE IN THE UK THEN PAY YOUR TAX OR GET OUT .

what is it that some of you wallies refuse to understand about the difference between tax avoidance and evasion?
if you have a pension scheme, you are avoiding tax, just as you are if you pass assets to your spouse or to your children, in the latter case it being a requirement that you live 7 years after the transfer

=======================

A new food scandal has erupted in China, threatening to tarnish the reputations of McDonald's and Yum Brands.
An American-owned meat factory operating in China has been accused of selling out-of-date and tainted meat to clients including McDonald's (MCD) and Yum Brands (YUM), which owns the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut chains.


but as no doubt this only affects chinese customers, who on this site cares very much ? :-)

A tribunal found in HMRC’s favour against Eclipse 35

Cynic just what dont you understand??????

For god sake a Tribunal as found the tax dodgers to be CHEATS.

Some of these schemes will of course go to a higher court but they are wasting thier time, they have been caught with their hands in the till.

Meanwhile as the dodgers have to pay up in some cases with in 28 to 90 days they will go bankrupt as court cases will be mid 2015.

I say hard luck cheating scumsters you deserve everything you get.
