I think polling station staff need to be (re)trained on how to check voter ID.
My wife & I were checked as we entered the polling station. Fine.
At the desk, the clerk asked had we been checked as we entered and, when we said yes, that was considered sufficient.

This article contains HMRC's statement that they 'noted' the s684 power in their evidence provided to Lord Morse. I infer that this means a footnote rather than anything clear. Anyone who has studied Lord Denning's judgment in the Shoe Lane Car Park case will recognise the point.

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

We’re very concerned about #HMRC ’s use of s.684 notices, the latest way they’re retrospectively pursue people mis-sold remuneration schemes.

This is not using ‘normal’ powers as specified by the Morse Review, so it undermines a key recommendation & is another abuse of power.

HM Revenue & Customs While one can sympathise with the problem HM Revenue & Customs are trying to address, the #LoanCharge as a solution has proven to be futile for HM Revenue & Customs. The Morse review has made little difference. It is time to return to the drawing board, wipe the slate clean and start over. /ends

I ought to repost with the correct address for Jim Harra

A beautiful sight - as it should be (as it has been and G willing may it continue and be replicated).

In 2007, Gary took some routine advice from his accountant. Over a decade later a letter arrived asking for more than £300,000. This is his story: newstatesman.com/the-weekend-re…

Per Chancellor, 'no-one earning less than £60k will pay HICBC' under the new rules. Actually, he meant, no-one with income (as defined) less than £60k will pay. Misleading statements like that lead to people failing to spot their liability to pay HICBC - as the case law shows.
