It’s a ‘Christmas of discontent’ as public sector workers to down tools this December over pay rise in the face of mounting cost of living crisis. From Nurses Ambulance services Rail workers Royal Mail workers Rail Drivers to UK Border Force Meanwhile, the Govt isn’t ready to add ‘shishi’ to meet unions’ demands, citing further inflationary growth should it decide to do so. And also, 2023 could be a staggered year of strikes if the Govt failed to meet workers demands. The list of workers that could be affected is endless: ACAS British Museum Cabinet Office Charity Commission Maritime & Coastguard Agency Scottish Public Services Ombudsman Natural Resources Wales Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service Independent Office for Police Conduct Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) Audit Wales Department for Education Natural England Competition Service Gambling Commission Historic England Health & Safety Executive (HSE) Historic Environment Scotland Home Office Insolvency Service HM Land Registry Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) Creative Scotland National Galleries of Scotland National Museums of Scotland National Audit Office National Lottery Heritage Fund Department for Transport National Library of Wales National Museums Liverpool Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) Ofgem Competition & Markets Authority Office for National Statistics & UKSA OFWAT Ofsted UK Intellectual Property Office Vehicle Certification Agency Planning Inspectorate National Archives Registers of Scotland Transport Focus Sports Grounds Safety Authority Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Equality & Human Rights Commission Scottish Enterprise NatureScot Scottish Government Serious Fraud Office Skills Development Scotland The Council of the RFCAs Sport England Scotland’s Commission for Children & Young People RFCA West Midlands Scottish Courts & Tribunals Service Legal Aid Agency UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Visit Scotland Government Legal Department Parole Board for England & Wales Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) Wallace Collection Senedd Cymru (Welsh Parliament) Scottish Human Rights Commission Scottish Prison Service Scottish Parliament Student Loans Company Architecture & Design Scotland Higher Education Funding Council for Wales National Highways Westminster Foundation for Democracy Independent Living Fund Scotland Rural Payments Agency Defence, Science & Technology Laboratory Electoral Commission Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Security Industry Authority UK Space Agency Marine Management Organisation Youth Justice Board Local Government Boundary Commission for England Northern Ireland Office Prisons & Probation Ombudsman Wales Office Courts and Tribunals Judiciary Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority Children’s Commissioner for England Food Standards Scotland Crown Estate Scotland Risk Management Authority Local Democracy & Boundary Commission for Wales UK Debt Management Office Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) Social Security Scotland Scottish Housing Regulator Revenue Scotland Department of International Trade Bord na Gaidhlig Forestry Commission England Scottish Forestry Leasehold Advisory Service Forestry and Land Scotland UKSV (Cabinet Office) Disclosure and Barring Service Veterinary Medicines Directorate Institute for Apprenticeships Office for Students (OfS) Transport Scotland Accountant in Bankruptcy Disclosure Scotland Education Scotland Office for the Scottish Charity Regulator Scottish Public Pensions Agency (SPPA) National Records of Scotland South of Scotland Enterprise Trade Remedies Authority UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Office for Health Improvement & Disparities (OHID) |

Viruses: I can't tell if your comment was meant to be tongue in cheek. In any case, no I was not "demeaning" the "good work" of the OP, but making a point as to why he was initially being coy and going round the houses about information that is freely available and not predicated upon access to a tax consultant. 4 Likes |

Zahra29: The answers to questions asked on this thread are available online. The aim of this thread is to aggregate them and make such information easily accessible. The information required to diagnose cancer is freely available on the internet, but you sure need an oncologist to aggregate the informations and provide guided consultation. Saying “this information is available freely online” is not needed. Let’s encourage the man. Cheers 13 Likes |

Let us indeed encourage each other; while at it, guide, assist, promote Anyone that has work as an #advisor (or consultant even) will know that often the differentiator is in aggregate pertinent information, applying their mind and wrapping use-case. May we all be a rallying point to each other and guide for all. A community knit together. In-btw, some discourse on HMRC https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/ifp/40024be4-717c-ec11-b820-00155d974e5f A pointer (out of tons) on definitive gov: www.gov.uk/guidance/changes-to-tax-relief-for-residential-landlords-how-its-worked-out-including-case-studies www.gov.uk/government/publications/other-taxable-income-hs325-self-assessment-helpsheet/other-taxable-income-2022-hs325 In-btw 2: YouKay mortgage interest relief is similar to some countries' (South Africa for instance).

Zahra29: So should we close down this thread because all the information we are giving here are available online for free as well...yet they have been very useful. At least the OP didn't say he was leaking out some secrets. |

Read this definitive YouKay page and read in-between the line of the journalistic write-up. https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/switch-to-this-visa Essentially, apart from 'trafficking' traffic, the whole jist is that requirement of a degree is being dropped! IMHO, this only relates to the job skill requirement. It's not a free for all automatic students to skilled worker visa. But then, won't that be great? The 'subtle' change in eligibility (that is dropping the degree requirement) is welcomed. By the way, wonder how #Suella will take it in!!! Short response to your enquiry is 'Yes' However, the Yes is based on the clarity above. No degree eligibility NB: technically, a degree has not been mandatory however, it is typically required! I guess this update is simply adapting to the real-life reality. In any case, expect more COS, more sponsoring companies, and unavoidably more YouTubers! obitryce: 4 Likes |

Kikspie: Thank goodness you took the time out to straighten your position even when it was explicit from the first write up. If I find myself in your position, I would do exactly the same - ask them again and possibly offer to foot the bill of the whole process, AFTER ENSURING THEY DON’T WANT TO FOOT THE BILL. |

Newbie123: Not only when you work for the bolded and also not only when you are the bolded. If it’s you alone, good! And if you have dependants, you can do this below. - The main applicant and his or her dependants can all get a refund that would be lodged directly into the account used in making the same payment initially. - As long as you work in healthcare; either with care homes, Independent living, Domiciliary, NHS or whatever, you qualify. - When applying, ensure your application (payslips) timeframe starts from March of the year under review to avoid rejection. - If the main applicant (MA) and his dependant work in healthcare, they only need an application that will include all their details. However, If their timeframe isn’t the same, they can decide to do it separately. Remember me when the ££££ enter o, just a bottle of O’mara’s Salted Caramel Irish cream will do 2 Likes 3 Shares |

obitryce: This has always been the case but has now been given a legal backing due to labour shortage. It’s the University I pity, as their expected financials for the year(s) will be unpredictable and possibly plummet. So, it’s true. |

rayralph: I didn't set out to discourage him or anyone But as others have pointed out, it is very important to do your own research even with the services of a consultant. Asking questions should be encouraged in the black community. Do you know how many people have ended up in negative situations because they swallowed the words of an immigration consultant for example, without checking the information? The OP drew a lot of interest because he hinted that residential mortgage holders could claim tax relief and that the black community needed to employ the services of a consultant to be privy to this and other tax loopholes. This was deliberately misleading and he was rightly called out/questioned by other posters and subsequently clarified his assertions (with information that is freely available) 9 Likes |

Viruses: Exactly - information can only be useful if it is correct. OP was misleading with the information he initially provided. He subsequently clarified his statements, but even if he hadn't, the information is freely available to anyone with access to Google or Mr Jeeves. What is so wrong in pointing out that people can seek out information/clarity on their own as well, in addition to receiving information online or from a consultant? 1 Like |

MARRIAGE ALLOWANCE-MA Are you aware that you can share your unutilized annual personal allowance of GBP12,570 with your husband or wife? The tax law allows a partner who has got unutilized personal allowance to transfer part of it to his or her partner. A personal allowance is unutilized if the total annual income you earn in a year while in the UK is less than the annual personal allowance. All taxpayers in the UK are entitled to annual personal allowance of GBP12,570. However, many families have a partner who may not be able to work due to the child care responsibilities they have. Or they work part time and earn sparingly, which means their annual income will be below annual personal allowance of GBP12,570. In the above instance, the law allows the partner who could not utilize her personal allowance to transfer part of it to her/his partner. However, the maximum amount that couple could transfer to each other in a tax year is GBP1,260. You can not transfer more than this amount from your unutilized personal allowance to your spouse. There is evidence that couple who utilize their MA could reduce their tax bill by an amount ranging between GBP365 to GBP 960 per annum. So, why not claim MA.
