Terrible skier, atrocious golfer, adequate father, exceptional husband, expert #VAT adviser, food & drink specialist.

Day in the life of a VAT advisor:

Client/colleague: I have a quick VAT question for you.
Me: there's no such thing.
C/C: I just need to know if it's 20% or 0%?
Me: it depends.
C/C: On what?
Me: it's complicated.

Repeat ad infinitum

@implausibleblog I must have become middle class when I left my job at McDonalds then.

[Daniel J Rice @itsnotVATsimple]

I'm not saying I'm middle aged; but I do try to plan holidays around bin collection days.

Children facing a ‘brutal’ loss of time and space for play at state schools. Hugely significant article in the Guardian yesterday. My thanks to the authors. 1 of 2 🧵- Read the piece here https://t.co/AbZqd1Nkdx

As metaphors go, this is a pretty good one

Rishi Sunak and David Cameron are attempting to feed sheep at a farm in North Devon. The sheep have run away.

@MartinSLewis Hi Martin. I've checked my @Experian credit report today, and Experian is showing a credit score, but based on none of the correct financial information.
Is it my responsibility to update this? (And how best do I do it?)
Thanks

Entertain your kids in North Wales for a whole week, by getting them to look for Tunnely Two and Tunnely Three

How Did Kate Photo Become A PR Disaster?

Because the interest rates skyrocketed

Horrible memories of going to collect "crackers" one Christmas and proudly returning with a Jacobs selection box.

one of the great male experiences is being sent by a woman to do something or pick something up and getting it 15% wrong

Just had my fourth radio slot of the week talking about tax and side hustles - this time with the lovely people at @BBCRadioLondon. Hopefully I’ve helped to put a few people’s minds at rest by stressing that selling your old stuff online doesn’t mean you’ll have tax to pay!

@maxschofield @JoshuaC95759860 @JudithFreedman Some days it does feel artificial to split them up

@karanbirtinna Often forced to stop at a lot of amber traffic lights on the way home too, presumably...?

This is a list of watch wholesalers in strict order of incorporation since 1 November 2023.

Let me repeat that, just to be clear. This list is ordered by date, and not alphabetically.

The names "just happen" to line up alphabetically as well. 🤣

@DanNeidle To avoid all this complexity, they presumably should have gone with some simple wording such as:

Clothing other than clothing wholly or partly made with tibetan goat furskin or some product similar in texture and appearance.

[Daniel J Rice @itsnotVATsimple]

Feel as though I may be letting my kids down by never having bought them any clothing made from buffalo furskin

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

If you've time to kill whilst waiting for the Autumn Statement, I present the furskin flowchart - HMRC's handy guide to whether clothing with fur has 20% VAT or 0% VAT.

Have fun.

On Wednesday 22 November, Jeremy Hunt will deliver the #AutumnStatement, his third fiscal event as Chancellor. Our Head of Tax Policy gives her take on the potential tax announcements: https://t.co/AD5oPV7kbA

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that's really not the case, if you snack copiously all through the night.
