As in 2 people turn up in a shopping centre, supermarket or library for a day per week to answer questions. I can't see them being able to take deliveries of letters, Returns or forms because they would need to pay for a van to take them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-69027062603411527662011-02-25T09:07:35.443+00:002011-02-25T09:07:35.443+00:0025 February 2011 07:43

Question is whether it resolves anything and whether First Tier Tribunal is the only way to get any justice? <br /><br />Ultimately, the more people who take action via MPs, Adjudicator, Ombudsman and Tribunals - I think, the better. Sooner or later, HMRC will truly fall apart if not almost there already.
