As article says, HMRC powers existed to stop #LoanChargeScandal schemes since 2016, but failed to use. At least 11 #LoanChargeSuicides later, will they act!?

The comprehensive failure of @HMRCgovuk is farcical but we must remember that their failures have caused 10 #LoanChargeSuicides

We've named Astra Ltd and TGI Payday Ltd as promoters of tax avoidance. We have issued them with a Stop Notice, meaning they cannot promote their scheme. If you're using the scheme, get in touch for help to exit. ⬇️ gov.uk/government/publicatio…

One could almost call it entrapment or tax grooming 🤨 @HMRCgovuk published a note targeted at advisors in 2009. Mentioned in #loancharge review as attached and viewed by a handful of tax nerds at the time. Why no serious attempt to intervene at that time? Never explained

The Loan Charge Needs More Than a Settlement: It Needs an Independent Inquiry

The Loan Charge has been defended as a necessary response to loan-based arrangements. But a policy can pursue a legitimate aim and still be applied unfairly.

Govt care less about the Human cost. And if HMRC were at all accountable (they are not, as successive failed audits and inaction have shown) then the more embarrassing reality would be about bean-counting and the #LoanCharge operational costs to recoveries ratio of 4:1.

Other Govt departments' ignorance of hiring 'Disguised Employees' was no excuse when it came to fines, but not so with HMRC, when it came to hiring contractors with so-called Disguised Remuneration' loan schemes, despite visibly ramping up their #LoanCharge campaign at the time.

You would of thought that multiple referrals & #suicides to the @policeconduct related to one policy - disguised remuneration / #LoanCharge would ring alarm bells. Instead they throw them back to #HMRC, who then mark their own homwork and say nothing to see here.

It was the ill-thought out and clumsy implementation of - first #IR35, then later #Off-Payroll, that poured fuel on the fire of Private and Public Sector mass market demand for loan schemes, with large end-clients - like HMRC, professing arms-length ignorance of supply chain.

Win what? #LoanCharge operational costs to recoveries ratio of 4:1 is only a win for those who can't add up (or perhaps those who couldn't pass an audit in over 2 decades...)

The #loancharge debacle continues, Loan charge victims pursued for six-figure sums. After HMRC taxed the loans with the Loan Charge, claiming they weren't really loans, the parties that issued the loans are now trying to reclaim them. telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/in…

Anyone who tries to explain that gets attacked as apologist for loan promoters and tax avoidance. This was never the point for most workers involved at one time or another, despite the relentless gaslighting to demonise individuals and 'make it real'. #LoanChargeScandal
