Perhaps it's time for the Prime Minister to meet the tireless #loancharge campaigners?

My marriage of 29yrs did not survive the strain...I came very close to a complete mental breakdown in 2021. The experience made me very unwell and has undoubtedly shortened my life. Everyday continues to be a struggle

This has been a constant stress to myself and my family and has gone on for over 8 years. I have been through periods of deep depression, contemplated suicide and [have been] terrified that they (HMRC) may come to my door demanding payment

We’re very concerned about #HMRC ’s use of s.684 notices, the latest way they’re retrospectively pursue people mis-sold remuneration schemes.

This is not using ‘normal’ powers as specified by the Morse Review, so it undermines a key recommendation & is another abuse of power.

Utterly disingenuous for govt to say off-payroll is about getting those who ‘work like employees to pay tax like employees’ . A complete disregard of the freelance community who get none of the rights/ benefits of employees.

For 8 years now my family has had this shadow hanging over it. My wife's mental health has been so badly affected that she finally left me...I'm now 64 I'm unemployed right now due to ongoing anxiety which affected my mental capabilities

IR35 being directly responsible for one in ten contractors being out of work is disgraceful.

The Government and HMRC must look again at the IR35 rules and their implementation to stop the harm it is inflicting on contractors.

'The latest victim to contact me is a female soldier who served on the frontline in Iraq in 2003. She is facing a potentially life-changing bill.' #loancharge The Yorkshire Post

Another brilliant article on #loancharge by Emma Agyemang. It brings back memories of this piece I wrote for The Yorkshire Post back in 2021. Victims of this scandal include former soldiers who were willing to die for their country. 'How is this justice?'

Unfortunately this is the legacy of the #LoanCharge . It has not gone away. Just a few weeks ago I received the following email from a victim “It was my firm belief, and I was told at the time (1/4)

It is essential that the Treasury puts a stop to a disastrous policy & approach that has led to suicides. 10 so far.

The #LoanCharge & HMRC’s ruthless retrospective pursuit of victims of mis-selling is unfair & dangerous.

Please no more #LoanCharge Suicides.

#LoanCharge Scandal

The Government has been repeatedly warned that the #loancharge poses a suicide risk. In 2021, I reported that former members of the armed forces had considered taking their own lives due to the #loancharge , including an ex-soldier from #barnsley
