Re: Just say No to Amazon
As a former small business owner, HMRC seem to take a perverse delight in putting you under their rectal exam spotlight if you try to claim a few extra quid exemption from Corporation Tax even if you are only paying them a grand. Note, all Income Tax, Ni and VAT dues were paid on time and in full. But try to skimp a bit on CT... and boy are you for it.
Why don't they give Amazon the full on HMRC rectal treatment? There should be a few dozen million wrongly credited or something.
Yes, I'm pissed off. They (HMRC) did it to me twice in 10 years and found nothing wrong. My claims were legit because their fines etc were rejected when I appealed. However, it cost me several thousand in accountants and legal fees each time. In the end, I just gave up and returned to being a wage slave and working for a large company.
One rule for us and another for the likes of Amazon, apple, microsoft and the rest especially Google.
