Everyone is eagerly awaiting HMRC's decision on Arctic Systems, and nobody seems to know when it is coming.

That includes, it seems, Dave Hartnett, director general of HM Revenue & Customs.

In a meeting earlier today, Hartnett, TS is told, was asked when the decision was out. Hartnett replied it was already out – 'it came out yesterday', apparently.

Not according to us, Dave. Still waiting, as it happens.

UPDATE: The rev is going to appeal the ruling, or at least appeal the decision to refuse an appeal on Arctic. Perhaps it's not that much of a surprise that Hartnett wanted the news out earlier.
