Sky News published this video item, entitled “HMRC tax collection: ‘I’m sure suicides will increase'” – below is their description.
Tens of thousands of people across the country are facing crippling tax demands from HMRC in a harsh campaign that has been linked to 10 suicides.
It all comes back to a 2016 piece of legislation that made individuals responsible for tax that their employers should have paid.
Sophy Ridge speaks to Jai from the Loan Charge Action Group, who has been personally affected and says “suicides will increase” unless the issue is resolved.
Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
