Bounce Back Loan
So I had a contract end in Jan 2020 then Covid hit in March 2020. I struggled to get work and took the BBLS £35k. Didn't work again until Feb 2021 on a short contract which I was offered to turn perm, and took due to not feeling confident in the market any longer. I took interest only payment holidays and on my 3rd…

Changing tax code back after claiming wfh relief
I was required to work from home in the tax year 21/22, so I claimed the working-from-home tax relief. In Aug '21 my tax code was 1275L and in Sept '21 it changed to 1288L, which I presume was HMRC applying the tax relief. My payslips have all shown 1288L since then. I am not eligible for the tax relief in the 22/23 tax…

Travel to Spain - 270 day since last vaccination rule
Am I correct in thinking that the rule whereby you require to have had your most recent Covid jab within 270 of travel into Spain no longer applies ?Slipped under my radar. If you are fully vaccinated you are good to go ?

Randox PCR test - is the website working?
Hi, I'm trying to order a pre-departure Covid home-test for my 5 year old using the Randox website but it's just not allowing me to do so as the country drop-down on the billing address page doesn't seem to work.

Covid & Work
I've tested positive for Covid for the second time. First time was last October when things were different and you had to isolate. I'm not sure what the rules are now.
