During Treasury Questions, Labour’s Shadow Financial Secretary James Murray warned that tens of thousands of people have been affected by the loan charge
In 2019, there was an outcry after thousands of people on modest incomes faced large and unexpected tax bills due to the loan charge. Significant changes were made to the loan charge following Lord Morse' review in 2019, which reduced its impact, although members of the Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness All Party Parliamentary Group believe the policy is still flawed and punitive.
Speaking afterwards, a Labour spokesman said: “We don't think the 2019 Morse Review can be the final word on this matter. We want a fair and effective approach from HMRC instead of the unfair approach at the moment which is extremely tough on those caught up in it but weak on the architects of it. In contrast the Conservatives don't think there is any problem at all with how this has been implemented and don't acknowledge the human toll of the way HMRC has approached this.
A Government spokesperson previously told The Yorkshire Post: “HMRC takes the wellbeing of all taxpayers very seriously and recognises that large tax liabilities can add significant pressures for some people. For those who may need specialised help, HMRC advisers encourage them to contact organisations such as the Samaritans or Mind.”
