| 1641418977514516481 | @gregwrightYP The @HMRCgovuk approach has resulted in a complete breakdown of trust: ❌They interfered with the so called "independent" #LoanCharge review chaired by Sir Morse ❌They have been economical with the truth in evidence to MPs TEN lives lost to this @RishiSunak @JimHarraHMRC https://t.co/iutqwJXLim | 24 |
| 1640978347013423104 | @gregwrightYP @yorkshirepost Freedom of Information requests keep showing up the @HMRCgovuk & @hmtreasury #loancharge failings They try to resist the FOI's as much as possible using various excuses to not release They have lots to hide plus blood on their hands with TEN #LoanChargeSuicides @JimHarraHMRC https://t.co/CARGqUcqMU | 22 |
| 1641415638160744449 | The @HMRCgovuk obsession with getting all to work through PAYE has been a fucking disaster for business and growth, acting as a direct impediment to the investment and productivity growth this country is so desperate for. Time to scrap #ir35 https://t.co/LR6uXUgFQz | 21 |
| 1640238608178192384 | @gregwrightYP My last #loancharge related contact was in Sep 2020. Since then I had a courtesy letter last Sep 2022 stating I had a new case manager but nothing about where we are/what I allegedly owe. So I asked @HMRCgovuk for an update of the situation. They haven’t even bothered to reply. | 21 |
| 1640663078894272512 | @BeverleyJean5 of course they are - AML was a key player, - the Government knows it, @HMRCgovuk knows it but Tory Donors are protected"! @HMRC knew who the scheme providers were & chose to change the law so they could go after individuals instead because they ran out of time to chase Promoters! | 21 |
| 1640758399271927812 | “Gary Lineker wins appeal over £4.9m tax bill “ @GaryLineker now defeats @HMRCgovuk #IR35 let’s hope #HMRC doesn’t appeal - if stupid Liz Truss realised IR35 was a useless piece of tax law when will the grown-ups conclude the same? https://t.co/5MdYwxfLJX | 18 |
| 1640768330138091565 | All of the regulators were aware 2010 what action did you take to stop this @TheFCA @HMRCgovuk @TPRgovuk @thetimes #Finance #HumanRightsViolations https://t.co/WnAd3Lf8r2 | 17 |
| 1640779263950434304 | @GaryLineker Maybe @HMRCgovuk should spend more time going after Michelle Mone / Dido and all the others who literally stole (fraud) money from British people during covid with fake PPE scams and a track and trace that’s no better than eye spy but nowt was done 🤷♂️🙄 | 16 |
| 1640364360148176897 | @accountancylive #IOPC failed to investigate 10 #LoanCharge #Suicides are the @policeconduct deliberately protecting @HMRCgovuk from scrutiny. I would have thought 10 related to 1 policy would Ring Alarm Bells, that something is seriously wrong @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt https://t.co/cNUROa2qjp | 15 |
| 1640789599470362630 | @DrOsitaMba @HMRCgovuk Of course they'll fight it. Why wouldn't you if there was zero comeback for wasting millions of public funds on hopeless causes? Perhaps they'll find another hitherto undiscovered procedure manual down the back of a Hector's sofa that gives them the edge. My money's on that | 14 |

| 1640731144936206340 | @Stephen41792571 @HMRCgovuk This is not over. HMRC will almost certainly appeal. If the decision stands, it will drive a coach and horses through IR35. | 36 |
