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

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.

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
I tried to kill myself twice while facing the #loancharge, an IT project manager has told MPs. The @loanchargeAPPG has written to HMRC to express "serious concern" at the failure to pursue wealthy promoters behind these schemes.

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": caselaw.nationalarchives.gov…

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.

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

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

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...

🚨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.

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

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
HMRC failed to do their duty at the time so conceived of the controversial retrospective #LoanCharge & conned hapless Ministers to introduce it.
Senior HMRC officials need to be exposed & stripped of their honours.
There needs to be an investigation into #corporatemanslaughter.
