HMRC has been accused of using "dangerous and sinister" new tactics in a tax crackdown that has already been linked to 10 suicides.
The government has recently come under pressure over the "Loan Charge" - controversial legislation which made tens of thousands of contractors who were paid their salaries through loans retrospectively liable for tax their employer should have paid.
The clampdown has been branded on par with the Post Office Horizon scandal as the unaffordable bills have been linked to suicides and bankruptcies, while one woman had an abortion due to the financial strain she was under, a debate in parliament heard last month.
