    I would like to know if the secretariat (LCAG) confessed to the APPG & Ray McCann that LCAG & CIOT firm WTT had promoted, encouraged & sold for profit, non-disclosure of loans on the 2019 Tax Return. Did Ray McCann know this when deciding to reward that behaviour with discounts?

    Will HMRC be held accountable at some point for the mental health impact of retroactive taxation that they know will cause bankruptcies and hardships, which 90% told them they disagreed with and which ICAEW told them was fundamentally unfair.

    Global LC Alliance - UK Photowall. Two hundred MPs who support a halt & a review of the #Loancharge. Yet today HMRC sought to to start the process to pass the blame for the Loancharge to MPs for having voted it through Parliament. But who advised the MPs?

    Mel Stride vows ‘no fear or favour’ at Treasury Committee - but it’s simply not possible for him to independently and without judgement, review his own behaviours which may have led to suicides, bankruptcy, marriage breakdown and mental health issues.

    HMRC have been exposed. The Loan Charge is simply expedient for them in that it saves them the hassle, removes the risk of being defeated in Court, extorts cash regardless and covers up their failures. For HMRC it’s almost too good to be true.

    Minister they're not avoiding paying tax that's due, they're avoiding paying tax that wasn't due according to the law until HMRC arranged for a new penal charge with retrospective effect to force people to volunteer that which wasn't due under protections laid down by Parliament

    HMRC CEO wrote as much in a letter to an MP in June 2018 in an attempt to block support for EDM1239. Should the CEO of HMRC have been writing directly to MPs to (mis)lead them on reasons for new retrospective tax legislation? That Civil Servant received a knighthood in January

    Astonishing, FST Jesse Norman reveals that #HMRC have successfully agreed only 2,000 DR settlements between June 2018 and 31 March 2019, out of a target of around 50,000. #Loancharge
    Yes it appears HMRC did have something to hide within their statistics.pdf

    “So far, 176 MPs - including 65 Conservatives - have signed an open letter to Mr Stride calling for an immediate suspension of the loan charge and an independent review. The Government should listen to them.” yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/greg-…

    Second time HMRC have refused my FIO request claiming they planned to publish the information, but previous time they didn't do so fully. Why is HMRC circumventing the truth coming out ⁦@StephenLloydEBN⁩ ⁦@keithmgordon⁩ ⁦@loanchargeAPPG⁩ whatdotheyknow.com/request/600985…

    The CEO of HMRC confessed in writing to an MP in June 2018 that the purpose of the Loan Charge was save HMRC the cost, time and risk of litigation. Thereby the Loan Charge removes taxpayers legal rights. MP's need help to ask the right questions about the rule of law.

    Two people hounded by the Government for a ‘tax’ that wasn’t due from them until the Government brought in a new law to make them taxable (remarkably claiming it wasn’t retrospective!!) whilst at the same stroke removing their right to defend themselves in Court.

    Bizarrely the #LoanCharge Review: -punishes more harshly those who made full disclosure -retained retrospection for some but not others -made no improvement in settlement terms -proposed a spreading of the retrospective charge which achieves nothing Something doesn’t smell right
