As a country we are complacent and decadent and only a big disaster - e.g. a run on the pound or sovereign debt crisis - will shake the country out of its torpor. The clue to this is how Labour can still be on 30% in the polls. People are worried about spending cuts but the truth is that UK PLC is heading for the rocks and if they think a vote for Labour will save their cushy life funded by the state they are very much mistaken.Comment

Recent report on tax "overpaid" by older taxpayers.
"Older people now make up 18% of all taxpayers, the report from the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee found, with many of these people receiving multiple sources of income.
However Her Majesty's Revenue and Custom and other tax authorities were ill-prepared to deal with such cases, it was discovered, both in terms of tax rules and levels of customer service.
The result is widespread overpayment of tax. For example, some 1.5 million older people have overpaid tax by £250 million because of the discrepancy between HMRC's records and those of their employers and pension providers.
A further 2.4 million older people have also overpaid around £200 million because they did not have their savings income paid gross of tax, while many more are believed to be failing to claim additional allowances.
I wonder if HMRC will apply the same vigour to give the tax back as they do to collect it from us.Comment

Observation
On the upside the revenue have very much nailed their colours to one mast.
ie we are the goverment of the day and can do whatever we like.
I have faith that the legal process will result in a successful challenge to this belief. It seems crazy they can introduce retrospection and then attempt to apply interest charges to a perceived debt position.
I'm still hopeful but alas 'Downbeat'Comment

Another CTD question... sorry
My missus asked me last night "what would happen if we lost the CTD cetificate, or if we had a fire?".
I told her that the certificate itself does not hold the value, so we're okay.
But I must admit, it's playing on my mind now. So can someone confirm this?Comment
