Near heart attack & HM customs.
We moved into new business premises 6 weeks ago, just sat in office now I could see a few gezzers lurking about, just shadows thru blinds,
Knock on door, HM customs raiding us !!!!
Fortunately it quickly transpired they are after the previous occupants..........
Don't mess with these guys folks, there big and there are lots of em.........

What did you say to convince them? May be worth me remembering it

How you doing Jon?
Two things in life are inevitable, death and taxes. HMRC are another leg of the equation. Years ago my mate was behind with VAT payment and they
turned up with a lorry and a warrant to clear him out. He paid up pretty sharp then.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

So how much money have they just wasted organising and manning a raid before checking their intelligence
HMRC are typical of the public sectors lack of basic commercial/financial nouse. They get paid BY US to waste more of OUR MONEY being
inefficient, overly complicated, beuracratic (sp?), little jobsworths.
I'm not condoing tax evasion by the way - that makes me even more as it's basically direct theft from the rest of us
....did I tell you I don't much care for the HMRC
BTW Jon, a little ring twitter now and again keeps you on your toes

HMRC is one organisation you DO NOT mess with. They have powers that you would not believe and there is not a lot you can do about it. If they suspect
that you have something hidden in your car they can literally take ever last nut and bolt apart until they find nothing and then just walk away
leaving YOU to put it back together without a hint of an apology.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

The government will always spend 100 times the amount they are going after in administration, and they feel they are 100% correct all the time. You
give them what they want, and say "thank you, sir". That's a good boy.

that is something to bear in mind next time I need some part replaced on my volvo.
An anonymous phone to HMRC:
"Hello, is that the HMRC? I think there is some unpaid VAT inside the front offside wishbone in the Volvo registration XXX at address YYY

ROTFL
Now that would be worth buying a scrap car just for the amusement value. Either that or telling them it's buried somewhere under your allotment
