You dirty little tax avoider!
I am within spirit and word of the law on that matter.
This isn’t “tax avoidance” - term that now means “tax evasion but too expensive to bring criminal prosecution to beyond reasonable doubt standard”.Comment

You want to talk lives let’s talk about it.
How many people committed suicide because of inadequate mental care which was due to lower tax revenues from tax avoidance?
How many lives would be saved with 200-300 mln extra per year put into NHS to cut waiting periods?
It follows that tax avoiders got blood on their hands.Comment

Two arguments are generally used to justify tax avoidance and criticize retrospective action. ISA and speed limits.
Both have no merit really and are really absurd. ISA is government endorsed and used by the majority of the savers.
Changing speed limit and penalizing everyone for speeding is so absurd in logic it does not merit any discussion.
Back to the loan charge issue then. So contractors earned 150k a year and got paid most of it as loans and paid some dodgy outfit some fees. In theory no tax was paid and there have been cases where this scheme.e was used for almost 10 years and I have heard 700k being mentioned. It means no tax paid on 700k income!
No government will endorse this and accept it as legit. Except maybe UAE etc.
The loan charge activists have been pulling the wool over the eyes of MPs etc. How many disclosed their entire income when arguing their case? None. All of the arguments presented are being very economical with the truth. The moment MPs are told that contractors earned a million and paid zero tax, they will drop this like a hot potato.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

It’s pretty clear that some proper wealthy people will be affected too, but the whole matter is too high profile and public for HMRC to back downComment

It was only when DTA was used by poor people that the government objected.
