Kirby is a truly awful person, she should not be given a platform. The choice of panellists for BBCQT needs a major overhaul.
Hi @keithmgordon thank you as always for your incredible support. If Parliament adopted the Morse recommendations then isn’t this latest antics from hmrc null and void? Wonder if @JimHarraHMRC can add some clarity too, since he works for all of us…? @RishiSunak

If you have received a s.684(7A)(b) letter you are strongly advised to get urgent legal advice.
Your MP might also be keen to know how HMRC are by-passing the Morse recommendations as adopted by Parliament.

HMRC are now issuing more s.684(7A)(b) letters to individuals for precisely those same years which Morse removed from the loan charge.
i.e. those cases where Morse thought retrospection was unjustified, HMRC now say retrospection is appropriate.

The effect of s.684(7A)(b) is strongly contested but the Court of Appeal in Hoey said it can be used retrospectively.

In parallel, HMRC started to issue letters under s.684(7A)(b). This is entirely discretionary but may be done only if “appropriate”.

HMRC proudly announce that they have accepted virtually all of the Morse recommendations, including the more limited retrospection.
However, ….

The loan charge originally went back 20 years.
The Morse Review said that 20-year retrospection was unjustified.
Morse recommended retrospection of 8.5 years. (Principle was correct but mistaken on the facts but let’s ignore that for the moment.)

Given the medium, this will inevitably be concise. If anything is unclear, I (or others) shall try to elucidate.
This is an urgent set of tweets concerning ITEPA 2003, s.684(7A)(b).

Yes Freedom of Information requests show that @HMRCgovuk have IGNORED the Morse "independent" #LoanChargeScandal review over 3000 times recently on pre 2010 cases
And still issuing more EVEN NOW
These cases are no longer covered by the #LoanCharge but, despite the one positive thing Morse did in the "independent" #LoanChargeScandal review to say these should be closed because the law was unclear, SEVEN YEARS LATER @HMRCgovuk are issuing these demands out RIGHT NOW
And bear in mind that a S684 is #HMRC making a NEW DECISION NOW on cases going back 14-20 YEARS AGO!
What "new information" can they possibly have got so long after the event - it is another #HMRC LIE
They cannot even follow the direction of the review they interfered with - no wonder TEN have died so far

Somewhat delayed (my apologies - it's all down to me) but LBC have kindly let me share the recording of my conversation last Sunday with @carolvorders about the loan charge. youtu.be/MIwkXx2Avrw
Bok supporter retweeted
These are strong criticisms made against HMRC.
Such conduct (if carried out by taxpayers or their advisers) would not be tolerated by HMRC (and rightly so).
It behoves HMRC either to:
1) disprove the allegations or
2) make some very profuse apologies to Parliament.

Letter to @CommonsTreasury highlights irrrefutable evidence HMRC continuously misled & deceived MP's, and Committee, in claiming convictions of #LoanCharge promoters.
#FOI's also revealed HMRC deliberately chose to exclude promoters from Review.

The #loancharge scandal is picked up by @BBCRadio4's #youandyours.
Starting at 42.30 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001vcn…
Bok supporter retweeted
A powerful segment on @BBCRadio4 on the #LoanChargeScandal, explaining the unfairness that #HMRC failed to deduct tax from agencies/umbrella companies & invented the #LoanCharge to instead go after workers who had been assured of compliance. There have been 10 #LoanChargeSuicides
Bok supporter retweeted
A deeply underwhelming performance from the Minister. He looked like he wished he was somewhere else.
Quite extraordinary to hear Treasury Minister @HuddlestonNigel say after hearing all those contributions in the #LoanChargeDebate that he doesn’t think the case has been made for another #LoanCharge review.
We would ask you to read the speeches & reflect. We need a resolution.
Bok supporter retweeted
ALERT: Our 7pm phone-in subject is the #LoanCharge, which I believe is as big a scandal as the Post Office. And this time it's HMRC that are the guilty party.
If you're a victim of the Loan Charge scandal do tune in and also phone-in. Your voices need to be heard.
PLS RT
And you as well @keithmgordon 100%
When @ITV write up the next govt scandal, this time on the loan charge, @iaindale @gregwrightYP @EmmaAgyemang & @NickFerrariLBC should be immortalised as some of the journalists who've been calling out the govt for years on this.
Here's me with Iain youtu.be/_O6XnjB0VYA

Just watched the loan charge coverage on @BBCNewsnight with expert input from @DanNeidle @Ray_McCann55 - worth watching
