    IR handed its arse in a sling in tax case

    Surprised some of you gimps havent been all over this like a fat chick over a smarty.

    IR lost their case for paying back taxes paid in error...originally argued that the date should start from when the payment was made, not when the payment was identified as being made incorrectly.

    See, justice can be done in this country!

    Could you rephrase that? From your wording, it seems (to this gimp) that we are worse off as a result of this ruling.

      I guess the interesting thing was that the company in question was argueing for the return of moneys paid outside the legal time limit, which the courts agreed with.

        ...and the companies involved had deep pockets & could afford to fund a challenge
        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          What gets me about the revenue and VAT people is they expect us to be perfect, but its ok for them not to be.

          Had a number of conversations with staff at a certain VAT office recently and I know now where all the stupied people work.
