@TheRising_Moon Yes, it's the threaten first and don't apologise later in any meaningful way. Again, with what feels like the automated one-size-fits all gaslighting approach. But it's more likely inflexible IT systems and inaccessible data internally. The organisation is contextually blind.

3/3 and please don't post about the evil licence fee ...that's not the point I'm making.

1/3 I think this pretty pretty much sums up the UK Authorities inability to deal with data and join up obvious dots. I have paid the TV licence for many years but it has been in my partner's name. This year I decided to buy a licence in my name.

@TheRising_Moon @rexgold HMRC stood to recover substantial VAT revenues, so reticence to intervene is kind of inexplicable, given the comparative hounding of others. It can't just be explained away by a workshy tax office culture. It's almost as if they know who they are allowed to touch, and who not.

@HCsick @rexgold Good question. The inaction has never been explained. Cock up conspiracy? Tbf strategic decisions are HMT territory but with VAT they rely on HMRC advice. Listen to the whole podcast.

1/2 After HMRC needlessly destroyed my business and others by allowing businesses to dodge VAT simply by sending goods to their customers via the Channel Islands (a practice they said to the EU Commission wasn't happening) I decided to take HMRC to court podcasts.taxjustice.net/episode/12-the…

@TheRising_Moon @DavidBell321 It surely would. And make the institution involved perhaps less likely to behave the same way in future. A bit like naming and shaming them on a public Naughty Step.

@HCsick @DavidBell321 If I could make a film exposing the blind incompetence I encountered and get paid for it that would indeed be sweet.

1/2 I'm in The Times today "I did what HMRC expect you to do when confronted with tax evasion. Not join in and report it. But that did not do me any favours. HMRC ignored me and then actually got upset when I went to the EU Commission..." thetimes.com/money/tax/arti…

@ftukpolitics Govt needs to provide more context before floating knee-jerk blanket reactions. It should be possible to weed out the genuine from the frivolous requests and the foreign-inspired AI bot-style incursions. It is still healthy to answer genuine but awkward requests in UK democracy.

@GuidoFawkes What's the matter - Government's FOI Clearing House, as started by last Tory government, can't keep up with the self-inflicted scandals? #LoanCharge, for example, is the gift that keeps on giving...can see why they are desperate to water down FOI obligations and blame China.

@TheRising_Moon @DavidBell321 Podcast on my list. Definitely more than meets the eye. Tax may be a cure for insomnia, but the human narrative twists behind all this are definitely an eye-opener. Perhaps the 'reward' was meant to come later. In movie or TV drama rights, perhaps?

@HCsick @DavidBell321 I am. The podcast was quite a bit of work as you will hear. Leo and Naomi at the TJN did a fantastic job. It works very well as a podcast because tax can be pretty boring so having the music and other elements made the whole thing much more digestible.

@TheRising_Moon @DavidBell321 I will. Are you minded to write that book later? It would be an education to others, especially as you managed to go the distance and get a result. And peered behind the Establishment curtain, with it's tax haven conduits from the City.

@DavidBell321 @TheRising_Moon No wonder that in some political quarters - no doubt with input from corporate think-tank whisperers, there is lobbying to remove the UK from said powers of the EU. The corruption is not limited to the island tax havens. And it would appear they had cosy arrangements with HMRC.

@TheRising_Moon Fascinating area of business & an unfair tax rule. Those islands are very corrupt but it just goes to show what a determined investigator can do with the power of the EU forcing HMRC to take action against jersey. Well done👏🏼

The true sign of a totally dysfunctional org. Offered help to stop industrialised evasion but only concerned with preventing bad PR that exposes instititutional incompetence. The lowly official in charge at the time?? Step forward Jim Harrah, then rewarded for his nonfeasance. 🤷‍♂️

2/2 I didn't get a reward because they would have to admit that they had allowed the scheme to go on. If you are a whistleblower against the failures of HMRC it will be swept under the carpet" To hear the full story hear The Corruption Diaries Series 2 podcast on all platforms.

@Stephen41792571 Admitting to industrialised evasion - or avoidance for that matter, on Harra's HMRC CEO watch, might have put that pension and gong at risk. Then there was that FOI moment when his RCDTS company was revealed to have been hiring contractors via loan schemes over several years...

@MPIainDS @DavidDavisMP You have both spoken out before about the unfair retrospective #LoanChargeScandal This is costing the taxpayer four times what it is collecting from victims to say nothing of human cost. @LBC @NickFerrariLBC @IainDale @FT @guardianmoney @NewStatesman
Loan Charge Action Group [LCAG]@LCAG_2019

"I think retrospective legislation is bad", unequivocal statement from @KemiBadenoch on @IainDale as commits to not introducing retrospective laws in future. LCAG has written to Kemi, highlighting contrast to #LoanChargeScandal & urging her to disown. hmrcloancharge.info/wp-content/upl…

@ContractorCalc They might as well form coalition Labour and Tory Govt. Then we can blame them equally for each other's inadequate responses to complex and interlinked issues building for generations. Joined-up policy and proper impact analyses for moving targets are elusive things.

We listended at the last GE. Labour promised to freeze taxes and deliver economic growth - the country voted for that. Instead, Labour put up taxes, increased unemployment, and delivered barely any growth. Businesses have been in the trenches since Labour got into power. It's been a disaster.
Angela Rayner@AngelaRayner

This result must be a wake up call. It’s time to really listen - and to reflect. Voters want the change that we promised - and they voted for. If we want to unrig the system, if we want to make the change we were sent into Government to make, we have to be braver. A labour agenda that puts people first. That’s what all of us across our movement need to rededicate ourselves to this morning.

@PeterStefanovi2 If it looks like "set 'em up and knock 'em down" debt weaponisation, then it probably is.

“Your government unilaterally changed the terms of the loans in the last budget. Students were told when they started uni the threshold at which they would increase would keep in line with earnings. In the last budget you froze the student loan repayment threshold. That’s outrageous isn’t it?” - Victoria Derbyshire #StudentLoansScandal
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2

Jeez. This is awful. Well done Victoria Derbyshire for not letting it go #StudentLoansScandal
