in Cutting tax
With the Chancellors PBR on Monday, many people are expecting announcements on tax cuts and changes across all heads of taxes. There is a strong feeling that an announcement on Vat may also be made - who knows.
But HMRC staff have today been told that within minutes of his announcements on Monday, there will guidance on their internal Intranet site on how this will affect them in their job and how to respond to customers. It has been stressed that all staff must read it. Hmmmmm? Maybe its gonna be HUGE!!!!
( probably not)

Pretty standard I imagine; I wouldn't read anything into it.But HMRC staff have today been told that within minutes of his announcements on Monday, there will guidance on their internal Intranet site on how this will affect them in their job and how to respond to customers.

Yeah, I read that on the intranet.
It's the same message that's posted every year, and is more or less the same is what's publicly available on the HMRC website.

Unless the cuts are very significant I can't see it helping consumer spending that much. Everyone is just too concerned about job security as well as falling investments.0

why do they keep going on about helping the low earners with familes what about single people who work hard and have a mortgage etc
If they are going to give more of our money away at least give it to everyone (except bankers)0 -
Yes, what about married couples too, and pensioners, that have just a little too much to get benefits? A lot of us also have mortgages and kids at Uni to support.0

why do people want tax cuts.....you do realise they will shoot up again over what we're already paying in a couple of years
The sooner labour go the betterIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
You are right there, any tax cuts will have to be paid for. But then it is even worse if you were not one of the ones that got a tax cut in the first place.0

TAX CUTS in the LARGE PRINT

all spun as the greatest day since the wheel was invented...call me cynical"enough is a feast"...old Buddist proverb0
