Rejected petition Retrospective Tax - BN66

More details

BN66 closes a tax loophole that was used by thousands of one-man-band contractors.

BN66 closes this loophole retrospectively.

HMRC have aggressively recalculated individuals' tax bills dating back over many years.

The affect has been that even using this loophole for a short period many years ago could result in a massive tax demand, usually enough to make you bankrupt and homeless.

I want the government to remove the retrospective aspect of BN66
