So, we're all in it together?

There's a new finance bill going through parliament that is, amongst other things, meant to tackle Tax Evasion

Link

However, if you navigate down to Section 554E ( subsection eight), you'll note a very striking clause...

Chapter 2 does not apply by reason of a relevant step taken by the
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority in relation to a
member of the House of Commons.

Yep, that's right...

MP's won't be subject to tax avoidance legislation!....

Damned if I can find it.

Type 554F into the document search facility and it is the para above. Simples.

Yes, if you put it here how it's written it the document, the forum chucks up an emoticon!

Just for you Wotan,

well i going to complain to my mp like she will listen as she crimnal any way cought dirving with no insurance while on her mobile

Roughly translates as,

Well, I am going to complain to my local member of parliament , However I do not think she will listen as she is a criminal anyway. She was caught driving whilst using a mobile phone and it transcended that she was also driving whilst uninsured.

No problemo capitan.

Well done to Ellal, I read about two pages and had to put my head in a bucket of cold water

Probably why they write it in lawyer speak so ordinary bods won't understand it

The gobbledegook language used by this parliamentary lot must mean loadsa jobs for the boys...half of MPs are lawyers anyway so it suits them.

Therefores and hereinafters...where are this lot?...in the 17th century?
