Further evidence exposed by FOI that shows that the #MorseReview into the #LoanCharge was not at all independent, as we previously exposed https://t.co/X6eW9pfoKd.
A new & genuinely independent review & a fair resolution are needed @RishiSunak @lucyfrazermp
#LoanChargeScandal
Loan Charge & Taypayer Fairness APPG member @libdemdaisy asked how many people liable for the #LoanCharge have taken their own lives.
The answer is that there are 8 suicides that HMRC are aware of. Each one a tragedy.
A resolution is urgently needed.

@gregwrightYP Some companies don't want the hassle of having employees, as it means admin costs, paying for pensions, sick leave, holiday pay, redundancy pay, healthcare, legal rights and other benefits that others take for granted. So why work for the same take home pay but no benefits?
@keithmgordon Think it would better to minimise household costs - energy tariffs, insurance/phone providers, subscriptions, food bills, etc than rely on interest rates to save.
@EamonnHolmes@Altgthr@RuthieeL One of the more modern counterparts could have less 'issues' - Corvette C8, SRT Hellcat, Camaro ZL1, etc plus be more agreeable.
1 @Lee4NED just heard you on @BBCLookNorth talking about #LoanCharge Seriously! The government says the law was clear from 2010! Why did no one tell me until 2018 then? What about the #RuleOfLaw ? A retrospective tax grab is totally unethical and unaffordable from normal people.
The tragic horror of the #LoanChargeScandal was exposed in my interview with Gayle, whose beloved father died by suicide. A wonderful, courageous woman. @UKLabour and the Treasury Select Committee, chaired by Mel Stride, must speak up for the victims. #LoanCharge@yorkshirepost

Thank Goodness for his tenacity & belief in the little people who dared to fight a treasured UK institution that had abused its power. The loan charge similarities are uncanny.
This supplements the various tweets I sent last month.
I've now had more information from @HMRCgovuk and I remain dissatisfied & I've now written to @LordsEconCom because I still believe a senior civil servant has given inaccurate evidence and this has not yet been corrected.

Thank you @PrivateEyeNews for reporting that FOI's reveal whole legal basis of #LoanCharge doubted by @JimHarraHMRC.
The little people indeed 'shark bait', but fighting back against this injustice.
Please get in touch for more information.
Completely understand there are other calls for money. But this litigation is real; it’s results public. Funds held for litigation that hasn’t begun, or for #LoanCharge challenges, are for another day. Unless HMRC’s retrospective discretion is defeated that day will never come.
A bizarre statement from @Jesse_Norman at @hmtreasury questions “Well I think the suggestion that the promoters are being allowed to do anything is quite wrong” when as he & HMRC know, schemes are openly being sold TODAY.
The #LoanCharge has completely failed to stop this.
#LoanChargeAPPG Co-Chair @RuthCadbury reminds the House that the #LoanCharge has failed in its stated aim of stopping ‘disguised remuneration’ schemes & that the IR35 off-payroll rules have led to a proliferation of umbrella companies including rogue ones pushing DR schemes.
@withorpe Tax avoidance is quite normal. I do it when I pay into my pension, also when I buy a new bike, also when I pay for childcare, and I suppose a few others do too
HMRC did so as a consequence of its own arguments in RFC. On its own case HMRC has either misled everyone (the law wasn’t “always clear”) or was incompetent (the law was clear but HMRC failed to assess the right people at the right time).
As @keithmgordon says “HMRC failed to take the right steps at the right time against the right people” so sought to first rely on the #LoanCharge & then a retrospective exercise of a discretion that would render the LC unnecessary. All as a result of their own arguments in RFC.
