LCAG has written to Chancellor as survey reveals most #LoanChargeScandal victims are retired/near retirement and unable to pay demands. Without major changes the risk of thousands of bankruptcies and tragically more #LoanChargeSuicides is high. hmrcloancharge.info/new-surv…

The cognitive dissonance here where Ministers rely on "professional advice" for their defence when caught out, whilst they simultaneously allow @HMRCgovuk to bludgeon innocent people caught up in #LoanChargeScandal, when they also took professional advice, is galling to see.

The Treasury is having private discussions about the #McCannReview recommendations, on top of the significant restrictions on it. We’ve written to Ray McCann urging him to disown the whole review if he’s not allowed to resolve the #LoanChargeScandal. hmrcloancharge.info/wp-conte…

With all the latest about Barrowman/Mone, a reminder of the #LoanChargeScandal. Strange that the Tory Govt introduced a law that let promoters off the hook whilst pursuing those they mis-sold to🤔💴 We wrote to @Jesse_Norman in 2020 but no reply…💩 hmrcloancharge.info/wp-conte…

And yet @HMRCgovuk saw that and said "hold my beer" whilst they set about bludgeoning victims of mis-selling into submission via #LoanCharge until at least 10 of them took their own lives. @jamesmurray_ldn

"Tax office reached generous settlements while punishing contractors with crippling bills" Perfectly expressed, thank you to @MoneyTelegraph & @charlotte_giff for reporting absolutely scandalous double standards of HMRC. #LoanChargeInquiry now.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Huge new FOI revelation in the #LoanChargeScandal raised by @gregsmith_uk in #TreasuryQuestions exposing #HMRC’s 15% settlement deal with large companies in 2015, as reported by Ray McCann to Lord Morse in 2019. All the while ruthlessly persecuting contractors.

🚨The latest revelation in the #LoanChargeScandal is coming out tomorrow. It exposes the disgrace of #HMRC’s whole approach & that the current highly restricted non-independent review (only of settlement terms - how to “encourage people to pay”) is a wholly unnecessary nonsense.

Off duty this week. But the fact so many written questions have been submitted over the last year shows how deeply MPs are concerned about #loancharge #loanchargesuicides.

PBW’s 1st trust was created in 1994. What have HMRC been up to for the *checks calendar* last 31 yrs? That’s 7,748 business days to stop these arrangements & they’ve STILL not managed to. Seems all those draconian HMRC powers are reserved for the victims only. #HMRCForkedTongues

The best choice would have been an 'Independent' tax barrister or tax judge.. certainly not a ex #HMRC director who was in charge of implementing DOTAS, which failed miserably, used by promoters as a badge of approval.

Keith Gordon was excluded from being a Morse Review expert participant, due to HMT & HMRC vetoing any industry voices that might be critical of their actions or the #LoanCharge policy. One could say to the outgoing HMRC CEO, "It's independent, Jim - but not as we know it!"...
