@SarahEGabbai The irony is that many people were driven into these schemes by #IR35. This is a problem largely created by HMRC.

@HMRCcustomers Ive waited 34 weeks now since pointing out the tax calculation was wrong. Told early April it would be matked urgent and a known problem, still waiting, what else can we do more than hours on phone explaning over and over, being told yes its wrong but has to be referred again

@JonathanWaxman1 @beisgovuk problem is awareness but also a lack of external investment. We’d solve these overnight if we allowed 5p/kWh 💨 electricity generated locally to be used by heat pumps for say 6p/kWh when it was windy. Investors would deploy free upfront and incl insulation. = huge tax to HMRC https://t.co/o4zCWlTplU

In a tax inspection, the fact that I had accidentally deleted my records from 6 years ago, or failed to back them up & had a hard disk crash, wouldnt count as any excuse. The law requires their presence, & HMRC would simply ***ume the worst. The same should be true here.

Oh Diane! @HackneyAbbott, if only that were true! If you're Jesse and a #conservatives 1st Secretary to the Treasury you can lie, cheat & fraudulently misrepresent tax revenues 2 Parliament to push through retrospectively #ir35 tax laws where HMRC already broke their own rules.

@paulhaley5 @loanchargeAPPG @LCAG_2019 @LC_Impact 20 years of inaction by HMRC, without which you could have dealt with this when working and not be lumbered during retirement. I hope that once HMRC are taken down for the Loan Charge they will be forced to pay you back every penny (and make sure they pay the interest too!)

The term seemed unknown before the year 2000, but seemed to found its way into businesses by 2005 before the financial crash of 2008 cemented it. The use has 3 domains: finance, engineering and product.

@CorvidaeRex Have you had a change of payroll? If HMRC can't see what you're earning, that's an issue on your employer's end. If they've changed payroll, it's like it's a new job, so it may be taking time to appear on your tax record. I'd ask your employer if there's been a change.

@HMRCcustomers That’s the problem, it’s not showing my new emoter yet as it says it still outstanding. I’m sure I’ve said this already. I have an end date I’m from me previous but still waiting for system to update. Why is it taking so long!

@RossMiller86 In HMRC view, you chose to go down that route, so it’s a commercial matter for you. HMRC view that they are simply applying tax to what you received untaxed.
But HMRC could choose to show some comp***ion & offer a settlement that does take those costs into account.

@Simon64580309 @theTeresaMurray @AyoCaesar This is the other tactic the disciples use, to avoid grappling with uncomfortable thoughts or collapsing narrative.
Nit pick as a diversionary tactic.
Even thought they/them knows Inland revenue is still common parlance for HMRC, they can avoid the real issue now.

@DottyDuff @CiaranMurtagh @axrenton @Sathnam I take your point but it was not a HMRC issues but a Companies House issue. They wrote to him and he resubmitted. They considered it rectified so took no action. The Standards Commissioner took the view it was not a matter for Parliament.

@taylor1612 @RishiSunak @JimHarraHMRC People hear annoucements, think problem sorted or they did what they said they would, because they heard it.
Did they actually do it, or even if did, how many or how much.
Lorry driver visas ... something like only 29 were issued ... that fixed the 5000 they announced.

@HMRCcustomers Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I did this already for my current job when I first noticed there was an issue last month - should I retrospectively update the income for my last job (which was always accurate) to see if it changes the current job?

Not against new investment, welcome it. Creates jobs for people but for some companies to not pay at all, gain millions is relief and then pay £44bn to shareholders over that period is plain wrong. Imagine if Joe from down the road did it. HMRC would be on their arse so quickly

@TahTaiTai @HMRCcustomers Same problem with us. Tax paid on a private pension lump sum payout. That tax is clearly under the personal allowance. It doesn't take six months, with a computerised system, to decide we need the tax back.
Are the govt finances that bad that they need the interest for 6 months?

@unicornhairgirl @sainsburys Hi there
Sure and no problem.
All you need do is complete an HMRC 511 form for reclamation of the tax paid under the government’s plastic bag charge, and bring the approval certificate into store along with a banker’s draft for £40. Then we’ll swap them for free.
