Hate to throw cold water on things, but (a) the Treasury Committee will not accept submissions from people it hasn't asked for submissions, much less take any notice of them and (b) their line is that this is not retrospective legislation anyway, it's the same legislation correctly applied and it's hardly their fault if people chose to misinterpret what was a badly drafted clause (OK, they should have complained a lot sooner, but until recently they hadn't bankrupted the country).

There is a case to be made of course and you're right to fight it, but yours will be a small voice in the overall scheme of things.
