Petition sign here -Stop the Loan Charge 2019 from being applied retrospectively

[Dundeegalaxy]

You do? Would you like to qualify that statement?

You mention in the petition the numbers that are affected are a significant proportion but then go on to say it affects 100,000 workers. Depending on what survey you use there is anywhere between 1.4 and 1.8 million freelancers.... That's what? around 5%?

Is the loan charge really challenging the employment arrangements?



The rest of it is so woolly it means little to me and I've half a clue what's going on. How is that going attract the average person that doesn't really know what's going on?

I think if you attempted to explain to the average person the exact ins and outs of it it would be far too complicated. If you don’t understand yet, and after 3 weeks of googling I’m not 100% up on it, I doubt you can explain it perfectly in a word limit. It’s just a brief overview

OP, why have you started a new thread?

One had not been created at the time. Plus relatively new so unaware of rules!

Reads like....... it’s not fair that we are treated badly like footballers as we’re merely poor IT contractors.


That isn’t going anywhere. What about the inherent unfairness of retrospective legislation? Surely that’s the angle to use not some whining, slimey geek who might have to extend his mortgage by 5 years to pay his fair share of tax.

It's retrospective legislation affecting some whining, slimey geek who might have to extend his mortgage by 5 years to pay his fair share of tax.

Hmm 176 signatures. Going well

I'm guessing this one won't be mentioned when you are telling everyone about your decent background in getting signatures over 100k?

176 people all providing HMRC with a reason to have a detailed look into their affairs alongside enough information for HMRC to do so.

Hmm, good plan that one...

isn't it anonymous?
The JSON data doesn't include the names of signatories (just the creator).
The privacy statement only talks about keeping the details of the petition creator.

I think you can sign it safely, just don't start one....

hahaha. Really? You're going to quote the same page I read but miss out the key part?

When you create a petition we ask for your name, email address and postcode.

We’ll publish your name along with the petition, but not your email address or postcode. We use these details to make sure you haven’t signed the petition already, and that you’re a real person (not a robot).

We’ll treat your personal information according to the Cabinet Office personal information charter.

Nothing about people who sign, only those who create.
