Not quite the bigger option, when you look at the likes of vodafone and facebook, but at least it seems they are setting their sights higher.

this man could just be a successful businessman who has structured his business so as to pay less tax. it will be nice to here his part of the story. we all know that HMRC are really hungry for money now looking at the economic state of the country.

Does anyone knows this Mr. Nwodo as i would really like to know exactly what has happened

Yes I know Mr. Nwodo very well; we went to the same University. He is an extra ordinary highly respected successful businessman. I have discussed the matter with him.
According to Mr. Nwodo he structured his company so as to limit his Tax liability. He had calculated his tax to be £60k aprox but HMRC disagree with him and wanted him to pay £140k which of course he refused. As a result the matter will be put forward to court for a judge to decide.
Lets face it, £60k tax from a 28 years old WOW! that is a lot of money compare to people that are not willing to pay anything at all.
I will be very interested to see the outcome from the judge.

i don't know him, but in my opinion HMRC should accept his return of £60k.

Because there are lots of people out there that are not willing to pay anything.

I think he is a great contribution to the british economy

This man must be a very good businessman. but I think HMRC should fucus more on bankers who earnes millions instead of harrassing a very young businessman who is at least willing to pay tax. if the 28years man calculated his tax liability to be £60k i personally think he has done well.

i think Mr Daniel has contributed immensely as a successful businessman to UK economy. i know him very well HMRC should accept his 60k. its not easy to cough out such amount of money considering the present economic situation. i thought government are mean t to encourage small scale businessmen.
