    Anyone done it yet? How intrusive? Big Brother is watching YOU

      Yeah, got mine 2 days ago. As it looked so horrific[ly big] I decided not to delay and did it straight away, although you're supposed to wait until 27 March. Only took about 15 minutes.

        Got a letter few days ago - was just post new thread about it!

        Anyway, hands up who instead of "jedi" puts "CUKKER" into relevant field...

          Question for those of you who work on site at clientco, but have registered office for your business at home: what did you put for Q40? Clientco address or home?

            Why, do you think the tax office are going to be privy to all this lovely data?

              I got it on Monday. Why do they send out a whole booklet and then say you can do it online?

              But the important question is why is question 17 left intentionally blank? What does it really mean, and should we be concerned? Is it part of some top secret government citizen tracking system in readiness for the invasion?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                Wording of the question:

                In your main job, what is the address of your workplace?

                Options:
                Enter an address OR

                Check one of the following:
                1. Mainly work at or from home
                2. Offshore installation
                3. No fixed place

                tempted to check No fixed place, as it varies from client to client, however not sure if that's right

                  There's so much fun to be had. I will be asking my 2 1/2 year old and soon to be newborn what their national identity is and recording it accordingly. Not for me to define them as English or Irish.

                  Haven't decided yet on Jedi or Pastafarian.
