There are a couple of follow-up blog posts:
How Green Jellyfish’s R&D tax fraud worked (taxpolicy.org.uk)
GDPR tax credit fraud, from the people behind Green Jellyfish (taxpolicy.org.uk)

This seems to be wider in scale than I'd realised, partly because they were targeting...

You're exaggerating. Reform got 14.3% of the vote, not 20%. See:
2024 general election: Performance of Reform and the Greens (parliament.uk)



I don't know about that. I'm no fan of Farage, but I have to acknowledge that he's got a cult of personality going on. Basically,...

There's an important difference between these 2 statements:
* MP has done other jobs in the past, and that experience helps them now.
* MP is continuing to do other jobs while also being an MP.

Think about the discussions we've seen in this forum, where someone asks "Can...

I think there are plenty of permies who work from home and/or BYOD. I think it's rare for the employer/client to provide the internet link (rather than a VPN). So, I'm not sure that those things count towards an "outside" determination.

I'm not saying that you're inside, but focus...

That's the motivation for the cheap charging plans (e.g. from Octopus). Basically, I leave my EV plugged in overnight, and it will be charged at some point between 23:00 and 07:00, but I don't know exactly when. That way, the grid can spread out the charging, rather than everyone getting home at 18:00...

It sounds iffy to me, assuming that these invoices are being sent by email (rather than being delayed in the post).

That said, I've seen some companies which issue invoices and say "Payment due on receipt" (i.e. same day), so there's no practical difference between that and backdating...

I'm on an inside contract at the moment, and I use director loans to dump money into MyCo to handle accountant's fees, mobile phone contract, etc. There's a balancing act: if I was going to be inside indefinitely, there'd be no point keeping the limited company going. However, if it's only short term...

I've had an EV for a few months, and I haven't had that problem. I.e. every charging spot has had a compatible charger. There have been Tesla banks at motorway service stations that I couldn't use, but then there were "normal" chargers nearby.

With the petrol station analogy,...

Similarly to WTFH, I've used Outlook on Android with a business account, and never seen adverts.

Have you seen this?
