avgas and avtur excise duty

HM Revenue & Customs

looks like tax changes have been put off until 1st November 2009 now?

unless it is clearly too early in the morning, and I need coffee to think straight.

Looks that way.

Basically, they are saying that they hadn't thought it through properly and need to go away and do some homework.

There is a surprise.

Can some one please tell me why this seems to be the case with so many scenarios?

I was one of the ones who wrote. It was immediately apparent to me that the proposals were unworkable. For example, how can you differentiate which part of the fuel in the wing of a DA42 is going to be used for commercial training, business travel with the aircraft on hire, or pleasure? You would have recieved a similiar reaction if you had consulted with almost anyone involved with the business.

In the same way the proposals with regard to the changes in CGT were criticised on technical grounds from the moment they were released - so why release something that is clearly unworkable.

Sould we have a Government, any Government, that appears to be incapable of thinking anything through - I thought that is what we paid them to do?

I could go on with a very long list.

These are not matters of political expedience or policy to suite the politics of the moment, it is far more fundamental, they are schemes that fail because they simply cant work.

Have our civil servants become so useless or so unwilling to consultant?
