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.

in Pannone's comment - they're a large firm of solicitors - it certainly looks that investors were warned that they might not get the sought tax allowance, but there would equally seem to be some potential very costly consequences about which they might well NOT have been warned

shares are child's play compared to tax issues and the like

Nothing wrong with the odd morsel of Junk Food, the problems start when you live off it day in day out.

do you eat supermarket bread?
what about baked beans and the like?
ready meals perhaps?

I'LL EAT ANY SHIT TANKER ! EXCEPT FRUIT AND VEG ! I WILL STILL OUTLIVE YOU THOUGH BECAUSE I TAKE VITAMIN PILLS .

Cynic rubbish. If these cheats dont understand the system they should have stayed out and paid their fair share of tax like i and others have done.

Ive had at least 20 of the scumster firms chasing me and I tell them to FO. No messing.

Id be a real fool wouldnt I getting done and then losing my right to practice because my pro body had banned me.

But the morals which you dont seem to posess go before anything on this matter.

Where do you take them to.

If it it is up a mountain then they may make you fit.

JIMMY and banans.

Baked Beans are full of sugar.

do they now?
so now tell me that you don't have a pension or an ISA or any other tax avoidance scheme
or perhaps your so-called morals are more related to your revealing comment, "Id be a real fool wouldnt I getting done and then losing my right to practice because my pro body had banned me."

Forgot about the bananas GF ,its going well :)

Dont have a pension, dont have an ISA, my occupation...... management accountant.

Think about it Cynic think about it.

I know youve had a trying afternoon.

it's actually been quite a good day from my little outing to london

so are you now going to say that you think personal pensions and ISAs are immoral, and you therefore endeavour to steer clients away from them?
no doubt you'll be "alright jack" in your dotage because you own your own company and therefore get the "perks" that attach to that - eg perhaps divi rather than income?

No I wont say they are immoral because they are available to perhaphs 95% of the working population. I choose not to bother.

Your scummy cheating tax avoidance plan is only available to high net worth individuals im guessing less than 0.5% of the working population.

Lets face it dont these people earn enough anyway without having to use a scamster scheme.

Its greed and nothing else which motivates these people.

Im so glad they have been caught, better still if they go bankrupt.

You guys seriously believe everything you read... The storey on food aka the super foods and bad stuff changes on a daily basis, who knows what to believe as the so called experts can't even agree... As for tax dodgers, give it a few weeks, we all know HMRC is under staffed, I except a deal will be done, a little slap on the wrists and an affordable fine will see the end of this one..

so the fact that Scheme B, which is totally legal and above board and non-aggressive but is only worthwhile if you happen to have decent amount of dosh, should be disallowed?
if so, on what basis?
politics of jealousy perhaps?

are you saying you should not be allowed to pass assets to your spouse or children to avoid IHT?
if so, on what basis?
politics of jealousy perhaps?

The letters have already gone out. The bills are in the hands of the scumsters with a warning notice if not paid on time they could face crimminal charges.

A lot have already paid up.

Politics of fairness and responsibility Cynic, something you clearly dont understand, mind having come from a public school boy background I can quite understand your predicament.

shortie - in this instance you're wrong i'm sure ..... from the little i have read, Eclipse 35 is just one of many pretty aggressive schemes that will almost certainly be attacked

shame HMRC are not so eager to pursue some of the individuals who have some very dodgy assets or similar abroad, or manage very substantial uk-based business empires from off-shore and similar
sticky is far more au fait with the wheezes that me

I'm sure they have Goldfinger and I'm sure they also took advantage of an early settlement discount....

ah well sticky, in your jaundiced opinion, anyone who plays golf has to be a snooty, over-stuffed plutocrat
what a total pratt you are at times


i must confess, if the views you so often express on this site are reflected in your business life, i'm sure glad i don't use your company for balanced professional advice
