He has managed to close a loophole which was used by very few schemes so yes it was all bravado like many of these announcements.

Good news just had a meeting with our tax providers and i am pleased to say that they have 4 robust routes still available should anyone want to mitigate their stamp duty on property purchases over £250k.

Just please make sure you go through legitimate firms as there are many people offering SDLT mitigation and not all use the best schemes etc, so please do your research. As far as i know there have not been 1200 letters sent out requesting money all that has gone out are a few letters of...

It looks like this is closing on properies over £2 million so looks like this wont effect us but wil llet you know

Here Here well said that man

Lets wait and see what our providers make of the budget report but it looks like we will be able to continue using the scheme.

It is great how Herr Tubthumper loves to spin like a politician. Currently our providers are digesting the news and will let us know of any changes. I dont believe i have ever been cocksure about these schemes but just wanted everyone to know that these do exist and many people take advantage of...

Well we believe this is actually a really unagressive tax planning scheme and please dont forget where the quotes come from.... Enjoy your warm feeling as these tax schemes have been going on and will continue for ever.

No requests at all. Dont forget there are many websites and fraudulent people out there offering tax savings and i am sure if people used them then i am not suprised if they get tax bills from HMRC. Please do not confuse us with them.
