Tax Evasion Hotline

[Thinwhiteduke]

Can anyone answer the quaestion as to whether they record calls is you use this service?

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/tax-evasion/hotline.htm

You can report anonymously but Im dubious as to whether they record your call if you ring them.

I am aware of an individual making 25-30,000 profit a year from buying and selling at makets and declaring nothing....in fact they probably claim that in benefits as well. About time they made some contribution to soceity as they are clearly fit to work.....needs to be truly anonymous reporting though.

For your own safety:

    do not actively seek further information about the crime you are reporting on or any other criminal activity
    ensure that no one else knows you are passing information to us
    do not encourage others to commit a crime or become involved in an offence so that you can give us more information

I think you`ve ignored the second point of the safety advice they give you!

Seen as I have mentioned neither a name or location I hardly think I have risked anything by asking a reasonably straightfoward question.

The individual in question would certainly never frequent this forum....or know anyone who does.

Having worked for HMRC, and being trained to answer any calls that come direct tome instead of ther hotline, I can tell yuo that the calls are not audio recorded, the details are taken down by hand. HMRC cannot record calls without the awareness and agreement of the other person on the line and having to make that announcement at the start of a call will mean a lot of phones calls ending very quickly...

Thank you...sorted then.

Though I will ask them just to confirm when I ring in the morning.

5 GAS LIGHTERS A POUND!!

And they were usually smuggled by a certain Northern Irish political 'organisation' - as were/are cheap fags smuggled on a commercial scale. So all those of you who bought/buy cheap smuggled fags thinking you've got one over the government were/are in actual fact funding said 'organisation'. Sleep well.

Oh I dont know...bringing millions in in tourism alone year after year...a great ambassador for Britain in foreign countries - the majority of the world envy our Royal Family.

Im amazed you can't stand any member of the Royal Family as Im assuming you've met very very few of them.

Please tell me, rather than the Royal Family what should we have in its place, and while we are at it - what to do with Buckingham Palace etc? Turn it into some form of Drug rehab centre?

An interesting blog for those that want to read it...that shows the Royal Family actually turn a profit for UK PLC.....

Royal family facts

1 Republics like France with no royal family have a bigger tourist turover

2 Ive met 2 . Actually nice folk down to earth and all that .Its not personal but political .The army swears allegance to the crown not parliment .In theory they could be used to overturn a democratic elected government with a socialist mandate .ie, australian labour government 1975.

3 I would replace the power of perogative with an elected chair as advocated by T Benn

4 They could use some of there unpaid tax to pay their staff a living wage

5 The palace could be turned into a refuge for disadvantaged corgis or better still a rehab centre for ex public school boys who have been institutionally abused with forced segregation of the sexes ander maternal deprivation syndrome .Ime sure most of them would be classified on the psychopathy checklist .

1. Ah, the age-old 'tourism' crap. Any proof of how much money the Royal family (ie the people, NOT the buildings) bring in in tourist money as a proportion of all tourist money? Thought not, nobody ever proves that statement with any evidence, they just expect everybody to accept it as fact.

2. What would I have in place of the Royal Family? Easy - nothing, they're completely superfluous. As for 'superb ambassadors', two words - Prince Andrew. What a star, well worth the money, eh?

3. Buckingham Palace? Open it to the public. It belongs to the state and not the Royal Family anyway. Make it earn the money it really ought to.

4. The blog is completely useless as it is written by a stupid yank who hasn't got the wit to realise the difference between 'The Monarch' and 'The Crown'. All the land that he goes on about raising the money that he says the Royal family 'voluntarily' gives to the state belongs to 'The Crown' (ie the 'job' and not the person holding it) and should Britain ever abolish the position of 'The Crown' would revert back to the state and not to the members of the Royal Family ie we would still get the profit from the land whether there was a monarch or not. So they are in reality 'volunteering' to give us money we'd get anyway. Not exactly 'profit', is it? The monarch actually personally owns surprisingly little of what people generally think they own - Sandringham, Balmoral, possibly Osborne House (not sure about that one), just about all the other residences belong to 'The Crown' and not them.

give them my phone number if you want, f**k them, I paid 40% tax when I was in the uk, plus council tax and all the other taxes, excluding the lottery (tax on the stupid) Your taxes are just a theft tax.
WAKE UP MUPPETS.

Sandringham DOESN'T belong to the crown, it is the royal families private residence. They bought it in 1868..

Most of them have slightly better weather as well ie The Med countries

[jucyberry]

Anyway, many, many of the staff live in estate houses. For life. My uncle and aunt are eighty and are still living in the estate house they have been in for the past 30 years. They are looked after, still get invited to the Xmas do's at Sandringham.

I would not want to lose the Royal family, I don't begrudge them one iota. I think that the people who get their knickers in a twist about a family they will in all probability never meet perhaps have too much time on their hands. Personally I have enough to think about with my own to think about strangers habbits, even royal ones.

Get rid of the lot of them. Makes me sick to think my taxes help pay for their lavish and disgusting lifestyle.

I bet you really miss that 70p a year burden they put on your pocket eh?

[jucyberry]

I'm beginning to think my new glasses aren't working properly, either that are my brain is reading different to my eyes..lol, Sorry Glyn..

I think I read too many readers comments in the mail, I don't know why I do it really, they are so vile it only raises my blood pressure. They are so anti royalist.. the older I get it works the other way, the more I like them.

[Glyn_Wigley]

I'm not anti the people I'm anti the position, it's completelty anachronistic.

I begrudge every bloody penny of it. You ought to be able to opt out of tax to pay for the royals.

[River Don]

Rich people will always tell you that their being rich is good for you. Just sayin.

[RobTheRover]

Anyway, back on topic....

How did the \"dobbing in\" session go, TWD?

[jucyberry]

Now you see that's what I like about it, the continuity of an institution that runs through the very fabric of our history.

[RobTheRover]

Glad to be of service, Ms Jucy
