I would like to thank all those readers who have signed up to my online petition concerning extra-statutory concession A19.
In particular, the various comments made by signatories shows that tax advisers across the country are deeply concerned about HMRC’s proposals and their current approach to ESC A19 cases.
Shortly before the consultation period ends on 24 September, I propose to send HMRC a copy of my article No ESCape, together with the comments made by the signatories.
I sincerely hope HMRC will reflect on their actions and return to a proper and fair approach to applications made by taxpayers under the concession.
Keith Gordon, Atlas Chambers
