I have enjoyed not looking at X/Twitter for the past few weeks. I propose repeating the exercise indefinitely. Please assume that I will NOT see your posts (even if I am tagged in).

But I have recovered my youth. The (still soon-to-be) Prime Minister is older than me.

@virginmedia Thank you. The biggest clue was the incorrect assumption that I was a VM customer.

I understand that the UT has issued a decision in the IR35 challenge against Adrian Chiles. I shall read the decision in the course of the day. Plenty of time to digest it ahead of my talk on IR35 cases at the end of next week.

Echoing the sentiments in this obit to the late Nuala Brice. She was an absolute delight to appear before - the epitome of judicial integrity.

@Itchieball I believe that there were a number of HMRC contractors who were subject to these schemes and potentially subject to the loan charge. I also recall that HMRC found others post-2019 and summarily terminated their engagements. Others will no doubt provide further info.

Ditto to @petetaxmiller and @litrgnews - until I see the full list of winners at I realise I will keep missing out many worthy winners. Of course, the LN staff deserve a day off.

@AdrianWaterhou7 Are you able to provide further information? Is it a case of different tax years? I am sure that LCAG, MPs and journalists would be interested to know more re what has happened. I am glad you have sources of advice because this is an area where I am now unable to say any more.

@AdrianWaterhou7 Adrian, As I cannot give legal advice without a professional intermediary, I would not wish to raise your hopes that I will be able to help.

@NimPamer @LC_SoldierAnt @LCAG_2019 I cannot really add much more than per my tweets on this a week or so ago.
I have a limited update on the s684(7A)(b) letters which have been issued to catch the years taken out of the loan charge by the Morse review. HMRC seem to have withdrawn some, effectively allowing the taxpayer to win his/her appeal without the case going to the Tribunal. 1/4

I have just learned of the death last week of one of my early mentors, Sir Stephen Oliver, the first President of the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. He will be much missed by the tax community and my condolences to his wife and wider family. RIP
