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.

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.

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

We have written again to Rachel Watson, Director General of @policeconduct about the #IOPC wilfully ignoring the #LoanCharge as a common factor in 41 #HMRC referrals for suicide & serious self harm. We will continue to pursue this IOPC failure of duty. loanchargeappg.co.uk/wp-cont…

An excellent article in @ComputerWeekly on why the #LoanChargeReview conclusions don’t go far enough. The law was indeed not clear in 2010 regarding self-employed people. #LoanCharge #LoanChargeScandal

HMRC’s responsibility is to collect tax in accordance with the tax law. Not to pig-headedly pursue a strategy based on a flawed analysis and refuse to discuss it. As previously mentioned, I will send you an example of HMRC eventually agreeing that they got it wrong.

Spot on Richard. In both cases @HMRCgovuk were asleep at the wheel, and in your case they went as far as taking action against you when you exposed their incompetence. That's symptomatic of an organization that will do anything to protect its reputation . @loanchargeAPPG
