@scarletpimpnell @keithmgordon @Jesse_Norman Years and years. I'm my case at least 7 plus lost years of my children growing up. I will pursue those responsible in court for damages. HMRC behaviour caused me to be under a Mental Health Psychiatrist on drugs, broken family, broken life, *******s I want them punished.

@johnhar33516570 @jneill @IngramGlynis What was HMCE/HMRC and is now Border Force are very different.
These form fillers required are not HMRC/BF staff. HMRC/BF staff will check the forms but don't fill them out. That's down to the exporters and their shipping agents.

@helenjanefer51 @Jesse_Norman Mp's like to quote that if its too good to be true.... The problem is when people contact hmrc and are told that there is nothing wrong, they will tell their contacts. So HMRC's lack of action helped these schemes flourish.

@Jakeykev1 @keithmgordon @Jesse_Norman Wanted over 50% from me on the basis they said I couldn't have TTP more than 20 years. They then wanted to put a charge on our house so essentially also taking my only residence off me. So that is 3 of the "agreed" Morse review changes accepted by HMRC broken. @loanchargeAPPG

So why are the scheme users the only party being pursued here. The end client went this route to avoid employers NI, the umbrella companies made the real money and HMRC did not inform scheme users that there may be problem. HMRC said they would go after employers, did they?

@Jesse_Norman @keithmgordon If the law was not broken for the promoters, how can you persue the individuals who were sold these schemes ? Your defence of HMRC knowing how individuals are being driven to bankruptcy, homelessness and death by a unlawful retrospective tax is unforgivable this govt is corrupt.

@YardleyShooting I received a call like this a year ago. The woman told me she was from HMRC and they'd detected fraud in my tax return. Said I owed £3000, that if I didn't pay I could face either a £25K fine or 5 years in prison. If I put the phone down the police would be sent to arrest me.

@jrf_uk @r_earwaker @R_McDonald_ There is a slight problem, with making the #UniversalCredit uplift permanent: how will the extra money be paid for? People are losing their jobs, which means HMRC will collect less Income Tax & NI. If less tax & NI is collected, cuts will have to be made to Govt. spending.

HMRC is to begin testing a new UK-only track and trace system for tobacco this month.
It will replace the EU version currently being used to monitor the movement of tobacco products to clamp down on illicit trading.
