Loan Charge Pledge - General Election 2024

The next Government must do what the current one has failed to do – and resolve the whole Loan Charge Scandal, before more lives are lost. There have already been 10 confirmed suicides and 13 attempted suicides due to this unfair retrospective legislation, that targets ordinary people and ignores super rich directors and advisers, who mis-sold schemes.

We are calling on all candidates in the General Election – and all potential future MPs – to back the calls to finally resolve the scandal – and find a resolution to the whole mess.

With 40,000 cases still unresolved – and many people on the brink, facing ruin and breakdown – this will be a big issue in the next Parliament and one that MPs will not be able to ignore.

Election Candidates – show your support

If you are standing for Parliament in this General Election, we are asking you to commit to three very simple things:

1. A new genuinely independent review not influenced by the Government or HMRC. The previous Treasury-commissioned review was not independent and came to a flawed conclusion. There have been several suicides since then.
2. A fair resolution for all those impacted, working with sector professionals, to bring an end to the whole scandal before more lives are ruined.
3. A review of the rules around workers and the enshrining in law of the basic principle that anyone classified as a worker (as opposed to being self-employed) must receive full employment rights (stopping zero rights employment). This would help prevent another Loan Charge Scandal from happening again.

These things are not even controversial – the next Government will inherit this disastrous mess from the current one and will need to seek a resolution. HMRC cannot cope with the volume of cases and should instead be going after Covid fraudsters.

Please sign the #LoanChargePledge – and show you are on the side of the tens of thousands of people and families who face ruin simply for following professional advice.

Back the #LoanChargePledge – help resolve the #LoanChargeScandal – once and for all.
