It's unfortunate that the IR/HMCE doesn't like it and dreams up ways of interpretting the law to suit themselves.

Another example of this is dividends being issued by small businesses. It's ok for LARGE companies to do so, but SMALL companies? that's another matter, even though they run under the same regime.
Eh?

My quote was directed at someone who decided they knew what my politics were and not a general statement. Again, if people are going to say that HMR&C are doing this and that, then please give details so that a) others can understand the relevancy of their situation (if it's true) and b) gives me a fighting chance of checking the relevant legislation.
