@ProfLAppleby I know not your responsibility, but maybe contribution of government policy to suicides, of middle aged men and more, should be discussed? The #LoanChargeScandal has caused at least 11 #LoanChargeSuicides (+13 attempts). The recent limited #McCannReview will not resolve issue.
We did warn you if they got away with retro tax once, they’d do it again.
Retrospective tax is an affront to natural justice and the rule of law.
#loanchargescandal
@Dan4Barnet Unclear who you hope to impress with vague soundbites. Tax policy across the boards seems likely to kill SME entrepreneurship and creativity, along with jobs and future revenues. Perhaps @UKLabour should get rid of the corporate think-tanks and think more clearly for themselves?
@TheRising_Moon@gregwrightYP@yorkshirepost As we know from recent FOI, the #LoanCharge policy is costing roughly four times as much as the revenues recovered. Therefore money was never the main aim. Loan promoters and enablers consistently not targeted. But contractors and SMEs herded forcefully back to PAYE under MTD.
@Dan4Barnet Change can indeed be frustratingly slow @Dan4Barnet, the #LoanChargeScandal will not be resolved by your failed 'independent' #McCannReview, but we WILL keep fighting for justice. The families who've lost parents to 11 #LoanChargeSuicides, and many more at risk, deserve more.
@nobigfish@ContractorNews_@jamesmurray_ldn@HouseofCommons When Opposition MPs are assigned Treasury minister posts in Govt, it is painfully obvious that personal and political survival become hitched to prevailing HMT and HMRC mindsets. Both of which are painfully aware that the #LoanCharge is a can of worms that must remain sealed.
@Dan4Barnet Get a grip of the civil servants who are killing people with the retrospective #LoanChargeScandal - that review is hopelessly flawed. You clearly do not understand enough about it.
@TheRising_Moon@gregwrightYP@yorkshirepost Three #LoanCharge reviews to date - HMT review under Theresa May, watered down to a slim templated HMRC report, Morse under Boris Johnson's tenure, and McCann under Starmer. Each descoped, then key recommendations worked around by Govt, HMT & HMRC. All to protect a failed policy
@TheRising_Moon@gregwrightYP@yorkshirepost The biggest mistake HMRC repeatedly makes with #LoanChargeScandal? As proven - yet again, with staged McCann 'independent' review, when they double down and give too many people no way out, then it perpetuates the very barriers to settlement that such reviews seek to resolve.,.
@wesstreeting Listening tour? 😂 More like people telling you real issues, you pretending to listen, then doing whatever suits your career goals.
@UKLabour stabbed #LoanChargeScandal victims in the back, despite 11 suicides from this legislation. You all lied & that is a fact. Listen to that.
'I cry daily and suffer panic attacks'. My analysis of impact of #loancharge written for @yorkshirepost. Exactly 4 years ago. As I said at the time: 'I still feel duty-bound to highlight the misery caused by this policy.'
