A First for HMRC

I wonder which ways people will do it? The easy one seems to be furloughing staff and keeping them working, with them implicit "you need to help us out" or simply ignorant.

Any more interesting ways? The "oh we were going to give everyone pay-rises in March" angle seems a bit too obvious.

But people were unable to find work approach xmas because of the market down turn. Ability to find work IMO is not a direct impact compared to people that have lost jobs or income. You face market forces all the time, 4 months ago it was xmas, now it's the virus, another time it will be something else. Not a direct impact.

In your opinion

Isn't that crooked?

Far better to furlough them for 3-4 days then make an excuse so they have to come back to work after that...

Do you mind! It was section 4.....

Attempting to bribe one of Her Majesty's Tax Inspectors with unnatural favours!

This isn't band camp, Brillo. There are rules!!

What sort of unnatural favours did you have in mind?
