Please look out for this. HMRC never: - send emails with a link (you should log in to your own https://t.co/KEki3J2dTk account) - send texts with a link - ring up and ask you to pay tax Some of the scams are superficially convincing. Please be careful.
Ahead of the Self Assessment deadline, we’re warning everyone to be wary of emails, texts and calls requesting payment or promising tax refunds. Don’t rush into anything, take your time. Find scams advice and report anything suspicious below. 👇 https://t.co/mMiko5eJR8

Sell goods or services via online marketplaces? They may contact you if you’ve made 30 or more sales, earned roughly £1,700 or more, or provided a paid-for service. There are no changes to tax rules and this doesn't automatically mean any tax is due.⬇️ https://t.co/O0G7gQ0hgD

Has anybody come across 'dodgy' looking NIC planning schemes being promoted to employers which they would be willing to (anonymously) share?

Hard to believe there is a 92 year-old victim of the Post Office still waiting for compensation.
#PostOfficeScandal VD "Just pay her" GT "Absolutely, I'm very happy to meet her" 🤷♂️ VD: "Why don't you just poo at her 100% of her claim?" GT: "I don't know the details of her claim" 😡 VD: "She's 92 years of age. What if she dies before you pay her 100% ?" 😳 @CommonsBTC

Very sad to hear of the passing of Peter Brown. Very fond memories of Gala Tax Office in the early 1980s when Peter was a prominent local accountant including the day the DI bought a “special fish”. And then there was rugby, RIP Mr Brown, “safe oot safe in” 🏴

Robert. As you know, the record Crown Court backlog accrued under Conservative rule. You tweet about it now. But what did you do about it then?
Today, across the country, court rooms are sitting empty. Just look at the shocking figures below. Meanwhile crimes as serious as rape and sexual assault are being listed for trial in 2027 and beyond. Victims are being forced to put their lives on hold. AND the population

I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear @Keir_Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.

Q: @elonmusk described @jessphillips as an ‘evil witch’ & a “rape genocide apologist” who should be put in jail. Does that sort of abuse of one of your team make you angry & what is your response? Starmer then gives one of the most impassioned responses I’ve ever seen

Useful information if you are hiring a car outside the UK

Check if you need an international driving permit (IDP) to drive abroad on holiday and how to exchange your licence if you move abroad - including driving in the EU after Brexit.

I wrote the review. This is politicising inappropriately. The issue was that the gas wasn’t connected, not that no one wanted him to have gas. It’s got nothing to do with Ed Miliband. Don’t twist what happened to suit your narrative.
77-year old died of frostbite at home in East London. A review found his death was down to the fact his flat had no gas heating. Ed Miliband’s dream.
