    Its not like we are living in a country paved with gold and streams of milk and honey.
    The thought of people killing themselves is real and these w*****s should be ashamed of themselves and her majesty if she actually gives a tulip should do something and give amnesty.

    Whilst were at it, why dont we all just make up laws as we go along. The 1% elite who control 99% of the worlds wealth pay no tax, yet these a**holes come after people who were duped into joining these ponzi schemes...where is the fairness in that???

      My advise is to email the address on the consultation and let them know the impact that this legislation will have on you personally. I would also say you should send a copy of your response to your local MP and Jane Ellison. It will probably come to nothing but when the s&*( hits the fan it will be on record that hundreds and hopefully thousands of people would have responded warning of the consquences of their retrospective action. This is not just you but the other 50 000 people in the same situation - now is not the time to sit on our hands. There are lives at stakes here.

        Jane Ellison is an MP, but how can she help? Furthermore if you don't have any assets and no money how do they expect people to pay?

          Jane Ellison is a Treasury Minister and at the heart of these proposals as the heir to rent a Gauke.

          It's your problem as to how you raise the cash but it must be done quickly unlike any HMRC actions or inactions. Join any support groups your provider maintains and in any event join the Big Group and funnel the indignation into positive courses of action with your comrades.

              A lot of contractors are in the 1% - if not, then certainly the top 2-3%

              It's easy to forget just how much a contractor earns in comparison to the average salary.

                Any stats to back this up?
                Otherwise, you're just fantasizing.

                  Top 1% is £159k pa or more - hardly elite that controls 99% of resources, certainly not after they paid punitive levels of tax.
                  Top 2% is £110k
                  Top 3% is £91k.
                  Top 10% is £50k

                      Top 0.1% and especially top 0.01% isn't the same as top 1%.
