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.

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email

in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
