BBC1 - The Politics Show, Sunday 17th February
by greybeardcons at 13:03 19/02/08 (Letters from Freelancers)
Last Sunday's Politics Show on BBC One carried a prominent article about 'Income Shifting' and the governments proposed legislation.
David Gauke, a shadow treasury minister, was interviewed regarding the proposals, and the strength of feeling in the small business community, together with the opinion that the new laws would be unworkable and difficult to implement (where have we heard that before??)

Unfortunately, the BBC as usual these days, seem to be leaning towards the government in the way in which it reports these things, and insisted on suggesting that the legislation was addressing a loophole in the tax law - clearly, not the case.

I get very angry when this sort of approach is taken, as it suggest that all small businesses and family run firms are 'on the fiddle' or at least operating almost outside the law, which again is not the case.

You can see the entire program by visiting the BBC website for the politics show, and fast forwarding to about three quarters of the way through the program. The artical is billed as the tip for the third u-turn on taxation, after non doms and corporation tax rethink. We can only hope.
