Told by HMRC to use @ICAEW Accountant for business. Except @ICAEW advice given "never worked" but HMRC took years to mention it. About to lose everything.

This is as big as the post office scandal. 10 suicides, families destroyed. The #Tories rammed this through parliament, to hell any consequences. #LoanCharge

Accountants were paid commission to place clients into tax avoidance schemes targeted by HMRC https://t.co/ZujSwLn4l9

@Mel_C_73 @LC_Impact @LCAG_2019 @loanchargeAPPG @HMRCgovuk The #LoanChargeScandal and other agressive behaviour from #HMRC is living proof why the UK needs a #Taxpayers Bill of Rights to protect citizens from HMRC overreach.

Wow, @HMRCgovuk really outdid themselves with the Loan Charge! Retroactively taxing folks for schemes they were told were legit? Pure genius. 😒 #LoanChargeScandal #HMRCHustle #TaxTrap

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Douglas Barrowman made a fortune from selling tax avoidance schemes. When the schemes failed, his companies aggressively sold their clients another avoidance scheme which supposed rescued them from the first scheme.

It was all a scam. A disaster for the clients.

Yet more evidence of the #LoanChargeScandal @jamesmurray_ldn @Ray_McCann55.

We need a proper & genuinely independent #LoanChargeInquiry that can consider action against recruitment agencies, accountants, umbrella companies & promoters, not just pursuing victims of mis-selling.

[Loan Charge Action Group [LCAG] @LCAG_2019]

As revealed that accountants paid for recommending schemes to clients case for full #LoanChargeInquiry overwhelming.

#LoanChargeScandal devastates lives as victims let down by experts.

Thank you @gurpreetnarwan, @SkyNews and Richard for sharing story.

@LCAG_2019 @gurpreetnarwan @SkyNews @CommonsTreasury @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @loanchargeAPPG @BBCNewsnight @DavidDavisMP @RuthCadbury @C4Dispatches Case for full #LoanCharge Inquiry NOT run by HMT or HMRC crony, and with them not setting similarly narrow Terms of Reference to the McCann 'independent' review, nor having early sight of Inquiry review report before publishing. Too much to ask, after several failed attempts?

THIS is the reality of the #loanchargescandal #loanchargesuicides. "I tried to kill myself twice while facing the #loancharge, an IT project manager has told MPs." From the @yorkshirepost archive. Relevant today and every day. @loanchargeAPPG

[Armadillo - Tax Support @ArmadilloSupprt]

We have long argued that @HMRCgovuk cannot simultaneously hold two different positions for different taxes when seeking IHT on payments treated as earnings. Here the FTT agree with us, holding that there was "no basis for this position": https://t.co/OmehezvjM1

[Mike Smith @miksmitty]

@LC_Impact @LCAG_2019 @loanchargeAPPG The evidence is overwhelming: the Loan Charge has caused long-term psychological, financial and social harm.
The only moral path forward is a full, independent review. Anything less is complicity.

[Loan Charge Impact @LC_Impact]

In terms of the Morse review I have formally applied for a refund of the Loan Charge settlement assessed for the period pre 9 Dec 2010. However, HMRC have refused my request

[Gordon Berry @wealthagent]

@ContractorCalc Matt Hall @ArmadilloSupprt made in person submissions to Amyas Morse as to how HMRC had made successive settlement terms more and more penal each time. So Morse was well aware that the banks etc who settled earlier got better terms.
Also of course:
No IHT
No s684
No APN penalties

[HMRCsick @HCsick]

@ContractorCalc Why is no one surprised? Has this Janus-headed behaviour with big business and individuals not been replicated by various governments and HMRC at different times?
The putrefying #LoanChargeScandal continues to float on, collecting suicides and gongs on its way...

A failed institution's leadership being held responsible for the avoidable deaths of many people. People at @HMRCgovuk should be similarly held to account for their own incomptenence and cover-up for years, leading to avoidable deaths of innocent people. #LoanChargeSuicides

[Greg Mulholland @GregMulholland1]

I don’t know how all those senior (high salaried) #HMRC officials (past & present) involved in the #LoanChargeScandal sleep at night.

They do know that their deliberate & unfair ‘punishment strategy’ (to quote Ray McCann) pushed people to kill themselves.

An inquiry is needed

[Greg Wright @gregwrightYP]

Latest on #loancharge: A Freedom of Information request has revealed that HMRC settled with large corporations for just 15 per cent of what was owed for a number of tax schemes, MPs have been told by Greg Smith, co-chair of @loanchargeAPPG @gregsmith_uk
