They Certainly Are All In It Together.

[gulliver1]

It seems that Jeremy Hunt is now coming under investigation from HMRC.
Hunt declined to say he had to pay a tax penalty and insisted to journalists that they would not find anything interesting in his tax affairs and that the Public are not "remotely interested". He refuses to discuss the matter.
..,,,,,,,,Perhaps the Public are remotely interested Mr Hunt........

[Hopkirk]

Try to keep up Gully. At first he refused to talk about his tax affairs. However he has since decided to confirm he has never had to pay a penalty.

I’m a member of the public - and I’m not remotely interested.

[THECORBYLOON]

From Guido Fawkes,

"After Jeremy Hunt’s robotic speech this morning, the Lobby took to applying similar scrutiny to his tax affairs as they have been to his predecessor-but-one. After being asked if he’s ever had to pay HMRC a fine, Jeremy chose to avoid answering – twice – instead saying:

“I’m not going to talk about my personal tax affairs, but I don’t think there’s anything you’d find interesting to write about”

When pressed further by Harry Cole, he responded that “people at home aren’t remotely interested”. It’s not the first time Jeremy’s tax affairs have been scrutinised.

Guido understands that unlike Rishi, who waited over four hours to put out a clarifying statement, Hunt’s just given a pool interview to the BBC where he confirmed he has never received a penalty from HMRC. Advisors really should be prepping clear answers to these inevitable questions…"

court jester with its obsessive illness as always..the sad little person doesnt even live in the uk...probably been kicked out

[gulliver1]

Let' hope this is the start of HMRC Investigation into all MPs tax affairs (all partys") and I will bet the TORIES end up paying most of the Penalties .

[naomi24]

Can we depend upon you to keep track and ;let us know, Gulliver?

[gulliver1]

Think Sunak and his chancellors have inherited the Johnson way of Governing . One law for the Tory MPS and another for Joe Public.

[nicebloke1]

It appears also gulliver that Matt Hancock just dont know when to stop being a liar. He said that he was going in the jungle for charity, and would give the equivlent of his salary. He's given only 10k of the 320k he was paid.

[Deskdiary]

What did Hancock actually say? Genuine question because I don’t know.

If he said he would give the equivalent of his MPs salary for the time he was in the jungle (because he wasn’t working as an MP) then 10k is generous.

neither am I

HMRC confirmed they are looking at their penalty system - as it seems clear that you can be lawfully penalised for not filling out a form ( self employed fr'instance) even tho you owe no tax (*)

so all the blah-dee-blah about "we dont penalised if you are innocent" is to be seen as the lie it is....
( easy one: failing to do the form is never innocent)

Their Lordships and special commissioners distinguished a penalty for unpaid tax which is never more than the unpaid tax from a penalty for failure to return a form ( and so you can blam them with a penalty)

Tax law is easy innit: none of it makes sense.

[nicebloke1]

Despicable, using charities as a front to line his own pockets.

gully can keep track, but letting you know is an uphill task

( play on: you can always tell an ABer but you cant tell him much)

[naomi24]

^anyone? No, me neither.

[anneasquith]

It’s at the stage now being a politician is a dirty word, crooks the lot of them. The more senior the more crooked . IMO.

[youngmafbog]

//Despicable, using charities as a front to line his own pockets.//

Eh?

[nicebloke1]

It makes you want to spit blood ann to see these crookd filling their pockets. I dont agree with a lot of the strikes going on, but I believe most of them are down to what they can see going on in government.If they can milk the system, so can we, if you like.

[youngmafbog]

Are you trying to say Hancock milked the system or someone else?

I really am confused here.

[nicebloke1]

Both.
