Current settlement terms mean those who disclosed their loans will pay more than those who did not. That discourages compliance. HMRC should amend settlement terms to remove interest, APN Penalties & IHT to ensure that those who disclosed are not penalised over
those who didn’t.
Gordon Berry retweeted
It’s a travesty that those with pre-DR loans haven’t been offered these improved terms. Nor have those who stretched themselves to the limit to settle by the 2020 deadline & who may still be paying & still in danger of default.
Some struggled to pay the tax but still face fhe IHT

"Savings & property income: From April 2027, tax rates on savings & property income will rise by a further two percentage points across all bands". Rates of 24%, 44% & 49% for affected income. So much for the manifesto promise not to increase income tax @UKLabour

The Chancellor announces more funding for HMRC compliance activity and stronger powers to recover overdue tax from those who can afford to pay but repeatedly ignore contact. The Government says the measures will help close tax loopholes.

🚨NEW: HMRC's letter to wealthy Britons demanding detailed information about their financial arrangements has been revealed

LCAG are now exposed. They cannot properly fight for those who have been excluded from the improved McCann #loancharge settlement terms as that would mean confessing their encouraged non-compliance with no assessment of ability to pay.
Packham & Earnshaw are bailing 👇

Major investigation from The Sunday Times - the Scottish state is paying a minimum of £27m a year to around 800 public sector workers, in the NHS, councils, police etc who do not have a job, but they cannot be made redundant owing to SNP policy

The Loan Charge Action Group FFC which instigated Robert Venables Judicial Review & raised funds, changed name to LCJR in 2020.
LCJR was then struck off in 2023. Did it transfer funds to LC Action Group who now use donations for purposes other than for which funds were raised?

Speaking to the #loanchargeAPPG on behalf of pension scam victims.
There is already a separate APPG for @appgonifandffs How does this help those excluded from the McCann Review settlement terms?

The McCann Review Terms of Reference left behind those who complied with HMRC settlement terms in 2020 yet rewarded those who sold non-compliance in the 2019 Tax Return.
How can tax advisers encourage clients to come forward with full disclosure if McCann rewards those who don't?

Earlier this week we wrote to the APPG with some examples of the profound unfairness that excludes thousands of people from the improved McCann settlement terms. LCAG act as APPG secretariat. We have not as yet had any response from the APPG.

One day people will realise that the little group who ran LCAG torpedoed our suggestion of better settlement terms back in early 2020, because LCAG were worried that would shut the door on the litigation that WTT had hoodwinked them into believing had a 65% chance of success.
Gordon Berry retweeted
Maybe also ask the LCAG spokesman Steve Packham why he has ignored all the warnings (with evidence) that have been shared with him & why he continues to promote the insolvent WTT Consulting?

We have the WTT white paper from 2018 on which 65% was based. We pointed out that it was pure fantasy back then. WTT Consulting Ltd are now insolvent & no such litigation has ever materialised. But they did declare dividends of £340k last year.
Gordon Berry retweeted
Having been sold the made-up 65% claim, some WTT Big Group member should ask WTT Consulting Ltd where is the litigation fund, how much is in it & can WTT Consulting Ltd please explain the £1.16 million drop in their reserves between December 2024 & December 2025👇
Gordon Berry retweeted
What is not mentioned is that those offered the McCann Review discount terms but who then do not settle, will face the stacked #loancharge plus 6 years of interest plus penalties.
I can find no such risk warning in the recent LCAG newsletter.
