We’ve received replies (finally) from @hmrcgovuk to our two letters. In both cases HMRC fail to answer questions asked & continue to evade scrutiny.
In one case we pointed out their FOI response failed to answer questions. So what do they do? Cut & paste the same FOI response!!
Evidence compiled by @loanchargeAPPG makes these points clear - #loan charge has caused deep misery to honest people. Meanwhile promoters live the high life. Schemes continue to be sold. One of the worst acts of any Government in recent years.
Today I have urged @RishiSunak to seriously consider the settlement proposals put forward by @loanchargeAPPG - many of my constituents currently face financial uncertainty and changes to Loan Charge legislation could make all the difference. #LoanCharge#Covid19
This is Harry - he is 5 and runs a little honesty shop near to my Saleroom. Someone has stolen his money and his stock. They will probably be too ashamed to return either but if they get to read this I hope it costs them a few nights sleep.
We are so close and so much gratitude is owed to you @DavidDavisMP You commitment to our cause has been outstanding and not forgetting you @gregwrightYP for you putting on print time and time again some fantastic articles showing how unjust this truly is.. credit to you both 😇🙏
I would urge all MPs to support NC31.
It does NOT clear historical tax debts.
It LETS HMRC exercise their full range of administrative powers (enquiries/assessments) to challenge loan schemes provided (as they mostly did) HMRC took timely action under Taxes Management Act 1970.
Due to reports & some recordings of @HMRCgovuk phoning people at weekends pushing them to settle we’ve written to @JimHarraHMRC
People have reported feeling harassed & pressurised. Unprofessional & unethical & more evidence that #HMRC are out-of-control https://t.co/MTSwysn6Pz
We're underwhelmed by proposed the FB #LoanCharge amendment. Another review within 6 months? The majority of LC victims will be bankrupt by this point. We've had reviews; they don't work. MPs need to get behind some serious amendments..NOW. You're being played !!
Comment from @keithmgordon Tax Barrister: Why the #LoanCharge is unfair. The LC has driven a coach and horses through the statutory safeguards, such as time limits, that have long existed within the tax code. #RuleOfLaw

My interest was more than 50% of the original demand. It’s @HMRCgovuk fault for the delay and adding 50% is adding daylight robbery to retrospective taxation robbery, literally killing good hard working people #scumHMRC
You know what’s really sad @Jesse_Norman? The obviousness of every time you try to divert attention like this you merely admit the loan charge is the worst executed piece of legislation we’ve ever seen. You basically admit you know @HMRCgovuk lied to politicians. You were duped.
@Dominos_UK I’m a key worker and wanted to say how touched I was to receive a free pizza from Dominoes in Loose, Maidstone last Thursday. It means so much to know that you are thinking of us and appreciate what we do. Xx
Disappointing that #HMRC are not stopping their blackmail and extortion ; voluntary contribution is an oxymoron in terms of tax, so disguise your BS but NO TAX IS DUE FOR THIS GRAB. #lcag
