@carolvorders Even Tax professionals can't understand how this Gov can stand by & watch @HMRCgovuk trample over the 'rule of law' removing Tax Certainty! 1000's of people lives destroyed by the RETROSPECTIVE Policy #Loancharge. WHY? #HMRC failed to collect from promoters in time
Another case of someone feeling suicidal facing #HMRC action related to the #LoanCharge. Disgracefully HMRC have not classed them as vulnerable or shown any compassion. HMRC refusing to accept any settlement & demanding impossible payment terms. The opposite of what they claim.

We’re deeply concerned that the huge discovery assessment demands issued to many individuals will force people/families to have to sell their homes, directly contravening assurances given by HMRC & Ministers. If you’re in this position please email us [email protected]

The government need to get the HMRC to change their stance on loan charge tax before more lives are ruined.

1/3 This FOI (whatdotheyknow.com/request/7…) clearly demonstrates, yet again, the lengths that @hmtreasury & @HMRCgovuk went to in order to ensure that the #LoanCharge review was anything but independent.

Worst legislation indeed. It targets the wrong people, does nothing to stop the practice that HMRC doesn't like and has killed 10 honest people who did nothing wrong. @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak the buck stops with you!

Listen to this and think about what's being said. This sums up @HMRCgovuk strategy for #LoanChargeScandal. Create a "them and us". Tell a simple lie and repeat it often. Ignore the rule of law. Why can't MPs see this for what it is??
best explanation of the current politics I have ever seen! 🔥

Taxpayer fairness goes both ways. HMRC can use their powers, and we can use ours. No side should abuse the other. It must be fair and just.

**WARNING** to all @Apple #iPhone #iPhone14Pro users 1. Buy some cotton wool. A fall out of the pocket could cost you dearly. If you have the misfortune of requiring a simple 'lens' repair on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, expect to be flabbergasted. Apple CANNOT (will not) replace.

This photo of then FST @DavidGauke signing the sweetheart deal that granted wealthy UK tax evaders & their enablers in HSBC immunity from criminal investigation while HMRC boss Dave Hartnett who masterminded it kept a watchful eye captures the true HMT-HMRC relationship perfectly

Millions of voters will NEVER trust you @RishiSunak, so many have been abandoned by you in past. #LoanCharge victims - 100k facing bankruptcy as ninth #LoanChargeSuicides confirmed. #ExcludedUK, #BackTo60 the list goes on. nitter.cf/itcontracting/status/1…
In a heart-breaking development shattering a family, the loan charge has tragically claimed the life of a ninth person. Read here: bit.ly/3IRBJY0 #loancharge #loanchargescandal @lucyfrazermp @LCAG_2019 @loanchargeAPPG @steve_packham @nadhimzahawi
These people have paid their full dues as advised. The arrangement was condoned by HMRC for 20 years before they changed their minds and decided to recoup some money from people who had no desire to evade tax merely, as is the right of all us,to minimise it.

The self-employed roar. It’s over Sunak. Look what you did. #neverrishi
Many different sections of the workforce have been hit hard first by the pandemic, and then by the cost of living crisis that has followed it. But none has been hit harder than the self-employed @Telegraph On top of that you abandoned us with NO HELP. SHAMEFUL #NeverRishi

1. Let's talk about hypocrisy in government, let's concentrate on those privileged individuals who have recently held the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Those holier than though millionaire ministers who like to tell us to pay "our fair share". A thread🧵 #LoanCharge
