Things are picking up on Twitter following the high profile reports on the BBC presenter who was hit with a massive tax bill. The DJ Liz Kershaw has been retweeting some of the tweets about the 2019 Charge so if you have time and the inclination please jump on twitter to see if we can make some noise and get people to take notice. Thanks.

keen to lend some support to your Twitter campaign.
Just followed a few of you.

I am new to twitter but am now following a huge number of MPs

Originally posted by Loan Ranger View PostYes, I've seen estimates that it's closer to 100,000 potentially affected by LC19.
Unfortunately individuals are being hounded by HMRC and yet the likes of Google, Amazon and even Banks that used EBT schemes get preferential treatment.
The fallout from all this will be catastrophic come 2020. It's not an exaggeration to state individuals with power and influence will indeed have blood on their hands.

Originally posted by NoBigFish View PostHi, I am new to this forum and am one of the thousands impacted by the 2019 Charge. As I am facing bankruptcy I am trying to take any action to fight against this and try and get someone to sit up and take notice. I am sure that anyone who has been to see their MP know how difficult it is to get anyone to listen. I started posting on Twitter a few months ago and there are a handful of other contractors on there trying to generate some interest in our plight. I always avoided Twitter before but actually it has been quite therapeutic being able to direct posts at Mel Stride, HMRC etc.
Apparently according to government figures there are 40,000 contractors affected by this retrospective legislation. I just wondered if there are any others out there who would like to jump on Twitter to see if we can get the numbers up so we can raise the profile of our situation.

Thunderclap might be a way to do this, if you're so inclined and can get enough people to sign up to it.
