Well said Pmanleytax. My irony-o-meter exploded when I read that tweet. The usual HMRC apologists are now coming out to justify why retrospection is OK in UK when dealing with #LoanCharge but must be fought elsewhere. Staggering display of cognitive dissonance from HMRC fanbois

Telegraph Politics @SteveBakerHW The Government would have faced 'certain' defeat on #LoanCharge #NC31 Act if Tory APPG members (90+) has stuck to principles & supported by opposition leadership.......sadly neither happened. How many more lives will be lost with payment deadline in THREE DAYS?

This is the draconian, sinister reality of the #LoanCharge. It undermines the #ruleoflaw & rips up the fundamental right to defend oneself against charges of wrongdoing brought by the state. All because HMRC didn’t do their job & Ministers accept their word over reality.

PLease can someone retweet the original details to @LoanChargeAPPG for me. I'm blocked from their site for criticising such a wet weekend of MP action over the last three years, especially in the FA2020 debate. They need educating - and shaming - for their part in such failure.

I see the usual crazies are out causing mischief following Pmanleytax decision. Hopefully, people are able to see through the BS and focus on how much Phil did for them and how much this LC shitshow has damaged him. All because he tried to help YOU. Normally for free.

I agree with much of your reflections on the loan charge. But I would like to challenge two comments you made. In the meantime, I wish you well as you embark upon your life post-CIOT Presidency.

Re comment 1, please explain to me why the position should have been so obvious for self-employed taxpayers. In particular, at the time, HMRC’s arguments in court/tribunals were being constantly rejected and the new legislation unambiguously focused exclusively on employees.

Re comment 2, your suggestion appears to acknowledge that the taxpayers were victims of misselling and ought to have a remedy. Given that relief can be easily made through the tax system and that HMRC were not entirely innocent in this fiasco, why should the campaign focus move?

Keith M Gordon This was not an issue when the privileged and elite used schemes to reduce tax liabilities. Only when the less privileged joined and used the same rules did it became an issue!

Sad to see some revelling in the pain of others. Frankly I wouldn’t trust a word said by a jilted Prom Queen & a right Charlie & I’d be very doubtful of any of their self-certified ‘advice’.

#LoanChargeScandal Today is a day to leave the phone down and engage in some critical thinking. The legal team behind loanchargelegal.com are hard at work . Our role is to resource them . This week its funding . Let’s hit the target 💪

Today is my birthday! And I feel really low. I should have retired today but now need to work and work and work... all due to a tax debt called the #loancharge. I wish it would all end. I must keep strong and fight. But all I want to do is cry.

My groups have gone ! When I want to share posts just 3 show out of 118 ??? FB Gagging again !

Vomit-inducing. A cabal of hyenas rewarded by CIOT (Colluding In Obliterating Taxpayers) back-slapping each other for helping HMRC weaponise APNs and #LoanCharge as a means to destroy ordinary people. At a time when the #LoanCharge victims are vulnerable. Shameful

@loanchargelegal @ASB__1984 This will never be enough evidence for some who will always be out to undermine any litigation route that isn't their preferred one. The people who contributed know what's going on and we await HMRC response and a further update on progress on LCL site. i.e. ignore these clowns
