Justice Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 MP's control the judges, inland revenue, police so repoting them to their own will do no good at all. Our leaders want the police involved to hunt out the person who leaked MP's expencise well i agree the police should be called in but they should be prosicuting the MP's not the mole and why is it i can not claime for porn on my tax returns and MP's can. it's all fixed get use to it and then come up with a way to fight back.

Although I in theory support your proposal, isn't there a more appropriate place to report the MP's? I don't want to take any heat off of benefit cheats, and I cannot see how the MP's fraud is a matter for the DWP. Your intentions, however, are fantastic. What response have you had?

interestrateripoff Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 They made the rules and many are lawyers so they will have made the rules so wholly they broke no laws. This is what true scum do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bear Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I might have missed a post on this but expenses where they are for personal use are considered to be 'benefits in kind'. These benefits are taxable as income.Have they actually paid income tax on this. What is the position. Or have they legislated a special loophole for themselves? (sorry if already covered) There was a story in the Guardian yesterday saying that HMRC are investigating Captial Gains Tax and benefits in kind issues.

righttoleech Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Cautionary Note: When the MPs change the system I am sure we will see a big salary increase. They seem to like comparison's with GPs whose salaries they virtually doubled a while back. At least the salary is supposedly being earned during employment. The salary increases will form part of pensionable pay and the subsequent pensions will be a snowballing index linked albatros pulling down the taxpayer whose own pension has been destroyed whilst guaranteeing MPs a comfortable life all the way to the grave.

housespider Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) This whole matter makes me so angry that I can hardly think straight! Who else can cheat legally and get away with it? They, the MP's have set things up so that they are technically above the law. It is wrong! It is sickening! It is infuriating! It makes me want to travel to Westminster with a megaphone and chant CHEATS, CHEATS, all day and everyday hopefully surrounded by thousands of others!!!

These benefits are taxable as income.Have they actually paid income tax on this. What is the position. Or have they legislated a special loophole for themselves? (sorry if already covered) More here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics...r-expenses.html The Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, gave MPs a special exemption from tax liabilities relating to their allowances. Section 292 of the Act states that no income tax liability arises from allowances paid to MPs for “additional expenses necessarily incurred by the Member in staying overnight away from the Member’s only or main residence, for the purpose of performing parliamentary duties.” One leading tax lawyer said that recent disclosures about the items and services that MPs have funded using their allowances raised serious questions about whether all the payments could reasonably be considered to be work-related. “It is hard to think that many of the items that have been exposed meet this stringent requirement,” the lawyer said. edit: bold added Edited May 11, 2009 by Matt Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Insiders said that, until now, once an expense claim had been approved by the Commons authorities, the Cardiff unit did not question it any further. That is now likely to change.One senior tax accountant told The Daily Telegraph: “My guess is that HMRC will now be forced into an investigation of a number of the cases that you have highlighted. “Some MPs could be facing large claims for back tax together with interest and penalties.” So HMRC having been doing there job properly. This should have been pulled years ago by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
