Completely sends the wrong message out to taxpayers during such a period of economic uncertainty (recession or not!). We're all in it together remember... apparently. |

Perhaps, maybe, they really are not guilty. |

Sorry, perhaps my previous post was misleading. My point was more questioning who in charge decided it's worth spending £8,000,000 chasing the tax (max 50% I imagine) on £200,000. In my mind, it sends the wrong message to the general taxpayer, for a case like this to have such quantities of money spent on it, guilty or innocent. |

Always thought not guilty from what I've read. It needs to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. However it doesn't make financial sense for HMRC to be spending £8,000,0000 on chasing £100,000, but hey ho, it's not their money they are spending is it ! I guess they have to be seen to chase it, overwise nobody would pay any tax !
The real question I have is how the hell does a realtively short trial like this cost eight thousand lots of a thousand pounds. Whilst I agree any body found not guilty should not be liable for their own costs, their needs to be a cap on the amount that the lawyers can be paid.

Lets assume the actual trial cost half the money, its' still way over the top. That means that the investigation cost £15,000 per week ! How many peoples would have been on it FFS Problem is that it's tax payers money, & in common with most Govn depts that means they can piss it up against a wall. |
