Thanks M.E. good point!
It seems that these people are threatening people (like me!) with these "civil penalties" if we don't pay the £750 tax to have our (painfully completed) plan accepted.
Has anyone been served with such a penalty yet?
We had our plan accepted online back in November (we have the email saying so), but we forgot to pay the £750 tax.............. ;-)
I said I would pay the money IF the system went live in 2011, and IF we still had our aircraft. I said I would pay the tax, but I asked them to confirm that if we sold our aircraft, or put it on an AOC before 2011 they would refund me our £750............they didn't like that and kept saying over and over again "Resistance is futile"!!
It comes down to whether these penalties actually exist or are they just some nasty threat?
Anyway guys, let's hang on in there.........I'll bet this poxy department will disapear soon with the new government cuts?!
