I have just learned of the death last week of one of my early mentors, Sir Stephen Oliver, the first President of the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. He will be much missed by the tax community and my condolences to his wife and wider family. RIP
We’re very concerned about #HMRC’s use of s.684 notices, the latest way they’re retrospectively pursue people mis-sold remuneration schemes. This is not using ‘normal’ powers as specified by the Morse Review, so it undermines a key recommendation & is another abuse of power.
@HMRCgovuk While one can sympathise with the problem @HMRCgovuk are trying to address, the #LoanCharge as a solution has proven to be futile for @HMRCgovuk. The Morse review has made little difference. It is time to return to the drawing board, wipe the slate clean and start over. /ends
My thoughts as expressed to @NickFerrariLBC this morning on the "Angela Rayner" property tax story (or non-story). youtu.be/2bNZTpsiRhs
And as if by magic, the following pops up. LCAG's letter to Lord Morse on the (mis)use of s684(7A)(b).

In 2007, Gary took some routine advice from his accountant. Over a decade later a letter arrived asking for more than £300,000. This is his story: newstatesman.com/the-weekend-re…
Per Chancellor, "no-one earning less than £60k will pay HICBC" under the new rules. Actually, he meant, no-one with income (as defined) less than £60k will pay. Misleading statements like that lead to people failing to spot their liability to pay HICBC - as the case law shows.
Party politics aside, I welcome the decision to abolish the connection between tax and domicile status. It was anachronistic and capricious. No doubt details will need to be scrutinised but it seems like a step in the right direction.
Etiquette advice required please. -December a delivery company sends to my home something addressed to a business address nowhere nearby. -Promises to collect it have not materialised. -Addressee cannot be traced online. I'm not sure of legality of option 2. Thank you.

The Passover is one of my most favorite holidays in all religions. It is very linked to Egypt, and thus, my Jewish friends and I (an Egyptian) used to use it as an excuse to make jokes about our friendship. A close friend, every time I told him “Happy Passover,” he responded…
@keithmgordon Very sorry to see this. I have very respectful memories of Sir Stephen when we were trustees @TaxAidUK for 6 years together. This interview in Feb 2022 is apt, given his FTT role taxadvisermagazine.com/article/interv…
@keithmgordon @JudithFreedman I can remember back to when he was head of Pump Court Tax Chambers. A thoughtful and kind man who would happily engage with mini-pupils.
@keithmgordon True Gentleman and very good administrator,as well as being a brilliant Judge. Previously he was president of VAT and duties Tribunal from 1990’s RIP.
