    Multi focus Contact lenses - Anyone using them?

    Yes, it’s pretty much it although I also had issues with near so they added a +1 to that lens to compensate for reading and that worked. It takes a bit of time and adjustment but worth it in my case as I don’t like wearing specs. Also helps if they optician knows what they are doing. I had to...

    Montpelier DTA scheme bulletin

    Zal- the CAF does not require any fancy reply. I just stated that I was willing to pay the APN and agreeable to settle the matter. They then write to you with what you owe including interest and you pay it. I found the process uncomplicated and not stressful.

    HMRC Enquiry letters on Loans from EBT and other schemes

    Regardless of the EBT variant, this does demonstrate (to me at least) the resolve and determination of the HMRC to go after all scheme members large or small, employer or employee to the very bitter end.
