HMRC are acting "completely against the concept of the rule of law" in attempting to claw back money from self-employed contractors, top tax barrister tells Nick Ferrari.

Thank you @NickFerrariLBC @LBC for interviewing @keithmgordon on the retrospective taxation of the #LoanCharge and what this means for the #RuleOfLaw https://t.co/bNimlDuYmN

[Ministry of Fairness @FairMinistry]

This is the mother of all lies. @Keir_Starmer what else do you need to see to start taking action, as you promised?

[Greg Wright @gregwrightYP]

Thanks Steve. #loancharge 'debacle' sounds spot on. I just can't stop thinking about the seven grieving families. A catastrophic policy which has caused terrible harm. #LoanChargeScandal

Terrible.....

[Ministry of Fairness @FairMinistry]

Internal memo to FST confirms #LoanCharge was deliberately created to bypass tribunals. That confidence of "winning the vast majority of cases" did not exist at all as we now know from Jim Harra himself. Bypassing courts was HMRC's only way of 'winning'.

To understand why I attempted some Italian at the beginning of my bit, listen from 0.40.20.

@JNHanvey @HMRCgovuk @loanchargeAPPG If anyone has any documentation to say that #hmrc has forced the hand of bankruptcy please contact @JNHanvey because I know some
Have had such letters. #LoanCharge

[Simon Burlington @SimonBurlington]

@donedgley1 @CampA15 @DanCardenMP Dan , seems somewhat hypocritical if you didn’t stand up against the loancharge ?

[Loan Charge & Taxpayer Fairness APPG @loanchargeAPPG]

Thanks #LoanChargeAPPG member Baroness @SharonBowlesUK for raising the #LoanCharge & the need for control & supervision of @HMRCgovuk who are indeed “heavy -handed on innocent or easy victims”. We need an inquiry into their conduct & a new system of proper oversight & scrutiny.

@pmanleytax @Ray_McCann55 If it’s not on the hmrc
Gov website it’s not adequate disclosure then it is.

[Simon Burlington @SimonBurlington]

@pmanleytax The English synonym for disclosure is declaration . Declaration of tax avoidance .
