4MenHadADream 122 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Are we not likely to hear some sort of leak to at least give us an indication of which way it is leaning by the end of the week?

Leeds_Bear 8,166 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They can't make an "example of us" they can only apply the relevant tax laws, but I'm sure if we were a bunch of hook nosed banksters it would have been less traumatic.Well they have already shown that they relax laws for bigger company's. So my point is that they won't relax said laws for us and throw the book at us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueshoff 12,046 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Would like to think if we win (or get a good result) there will be an appropriate display at the next OF game - the mhanks have been dining off this case for so long now they deserve to get it right up them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 how can they throw the book at usif we are guilty then we pay what we owe, if we are not guilty then we dont pay a pennyAgree, HMRC may have let other companies off lightly (Vodafone for one!) and are now under pressure to recoup as much as possible so they may be trying to make an example of us. That is entirely different than the courts making an example of us, they just have to judge the evidence as it is presented and apply the underlying applicable laws. Here's hoping it goes in our favour! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all courts of law you will see similar if not the same crimes carry different sentences and punishments. With what the HMRC have previously let pass under there nose 3bn from Arcadia and i think the same amount from Vodafone they will be looking to hand out the biggest fine/claim possible. Rather than cutting the figure currently being discussed in the media an allowing us to settle it for less to help keep a major PLC in business.

Are you saying whatever the figure comes out of this case we won't be paying? What if it is half the amount quoted or quarter of the amount?
