🚨NEW: Hundreds of civil servants have been caught working multiple jobs

The Tories are living a life of luxury at your expense. Rishi Sunak has failed to rein in this culture of lavish spending. 💳
Labour will get tough on waste, with an Office of Value for Money to ensure transparency and proper controls. 🧮

I do understand that it must be really tough realising that a small number of individuals who ran LCAG made the decision for you back in 2020 that they’d pass up the ideal opportunity for better settlement terms, cause they decided you were “in it for the long run” per S Packham
I know of only one company who has quite literally made £millions out of #loancharge victims & they’ve taken that money SINCE 2016
Because LCAG keep promoting them!
WTF

The CEOs were also reminded by GMB union of its right to invite all staff to online meetings conducted during working hours, and for which workers will be paid while attending
The email said they must distribute the union’s correspondence to their staff “within two working days of receiving it, in full and unedited, as a standalone item and not bundled into other updates”

🚨 NEW: One of Britain's biggest unions emailed thousands of CEOs demanding to “recruit” workers just 3 minutes after the new workers' rights laws took effect
The law allows unions to request workplace access and contact all workers, whether they're union members or not

Does it get any more deceitful than this:
Acting as APPG secretariat.
To blame Promoters.
While trying to sue his accountant.
For a scheme he chose to enter as a Chartered Accountant.
Yet argues tax isn’t due.
And doesn’t declare #loancharge liabilities on his 2019 Tax Return.
Gordon Berry retweeted
Ironically, having claimed he was misled into tax avoidance, Dick, a Chartered Accountant, advised others not to declare the loan write-off mis-advised by WTT in 2017 & then years later he took WTT’s ‘advice’ not to disclose his #Loancharge liabilities on 2019 Tax Return! 💰
🤥
Gordon Berry retweeted
Dick is a Chartered (Management) Accountant. He either signed a NMW contract & loan agreement or claimed to be self-employed & his tax adviser (WTT) now tell him to argue that was a false declaration! But it’s all someone else’s fault as Dick didn’t know what those terms meant 🤥

HMRC duped Parliament. In September 2015, before the 2017 Supreme Court ruling, HMRC proposed a retrospective income tax that nobody was meant to pay, it was just meant to pressure everyone into settlement whether HMRC could tax them or not. Then LCAG blamed the Promoters 🙄

@HMRCVictim simultaneously argued he would take HMRC to pieces in Court & that the #loancharge is retrospective. Yet he wants to sue his accountant whilst also arguing against improved settlement terms. Who is the paid campaigner behind the LCAG decisions, is it Greg Mulholland?
Gordon Berry retweeted
@HMRCVictim is a WTT fan.
WTT sold him the idea he'd get a PAYE credit (this is not available for post-DR loans). Hence he argued against the idea of better settlement terms back in 2020 claiming a 50% reduction wasn't enough & that he preferred WTT's foolish 10/10/10/10 idea.

CIOT and its LITRG have welcomed the government’s decision not to require mandatory payment of Self Assessment tax though PAYE, but concerns remain about the impact of earlier and more frequent payments on taxpayers’ cash flow, read more here

Regarding the #loancharge the McCann Review rewards those who didn't comply with the previous deadline of 30/9/2020.
It removes back interest, IHT & penalties (re non- compliance), plus £5k deduction.
Those who did comply receive no such deductions or discounts.
Makes no sense!
Gordon Berry retweeted
The McCann Review is outrageous.
1. It rewards ONLY people who didn't comply with the #loancharge settlement deadline.
2. It rewards ONLY people who did tax strategies after the law allegedly became clear.
Had it applied on equal terms to ALL loans THEN it might have been "fair".
Gordon Berry retweeted
Current settlement terms mean those who disclosed their loans will pay more than those who did not. That discourages compliance. HMRC should amend settlement terms to remove interest, APN Penalties & IHT to ensure that those who disclosed are not penalised over
those who didn’t.
Gordon Berry retweeted
It’s a travesty that those with pre-DR loans haven’t been offered these improved terms. Nor have those who stretched themselves to the limit to settle by the 2020 deadline & who may still be paying & still in danger of default.
Some struggled to pay the tax but still face fhe IHT

"Savings & property income: From April 2027, tax rates on savings & property income will rise by a further two percentage points across all bands". Rates of 24%, 44% & 49% for affected income. So much for the manifesto promise not to increase income tax @UKLabour
