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.

they're not cheats you tosspot :-)

unless i'm much mistaken, Ingenious was set up probably 10 years ago with guidance from HMRC and also the encouragement of gov't that wanted to promote investment in films .... the inducement for this was assorted tax breaks

as for tax being a moral issue ....... !!!!!
the tax man has no morals at all ...... just as you are more than happy to take what tax breaks and benefits you feel are yours as of right, so this case as far as i can see, is actually little different

it may be that the law lords, for whatever reason will take a different view, but clearly it is a very unclear situation that is likely to be appealed a few times over

They are cheats and the tax man is a cheat aswel in your personal case.

But unfortunately in society we have certain laws which we have to stick to or society would break down.

Now stop gobbing and get my tea in the oven.

Why do folk oop north call dinner, tea?

Because we are poor.

We dont have the means to afford both a late tea and an evening dinner.

Or is it an High tea???????

The ones who have paid will likely appeal if the case goes against HMRC and claim interest for the intervening period as is their right. It looks like HMRC are wrong in this case and hopefully will get a bloody nose.

lol gf :-)

Actually, it would be a high tea, not an high tea!

Where is the grammar police when we need him.

Come back Kayak!

Stop talking sh-te Hays.

It will be at least 2020 before this is sorted.

Do you really think the government of the day will accept a defeat.

Dream on man.

In your case Hays does it matter, your high ALL DAY.

Snorter Osbourne comes to mind.

sticky - you know a bit more than the rest of us about the workings of HMRC ..... will those who have paid up be reimbursed if the case goes against HMRC, or will they have had to sign away all rights?

no argument about the legal obligation to pay taxes - render unto Caesar etc etc - but in this particular case, it is (suddenly?) not clear at all who has God on their side

well hays, it's assuredly an historical novel, so why would an high tea be a grammatical inexactitude, for both have aspirated aitches?

They will get paid back with the official inflation rate for the year at the end of Sept in each year of indebtedness.

Hes still at it, going very strong. got to admire his stamina..........

Max,

Tea!

Possibly, when the morning shifts from pits or heavy industries, got home and also, the food was eaten with tea.

It was a cooked meal at the end of the working day.

Followed, by a light supper.


======

High tea from distant memory was a cooked light meal tea of some form.

Could be wrong, but it was part of my childhood.

in that case, no point in not paying up now assuming it doesn't cripple through other problems

Ever used Wikipedia?

Did you know it is a non-profit charitable organisation that exists only through charitable donations?

If you want to help and give them a few quid, here's a link:

I've just done a small donation using PayPal. The whole thing took me less than 30 seconds.

youch! would never use paypal

No Cyners if you dont pay up then then you are subject to a higher peanalty.

Go back a few points on the first page and read APN.
