We've now moved house and now at last we have a land line and internet access - it only took BT nearly a month to "fit us in"!
And on reading the newspaper the day after we were connected, I read that MP's are trying to get out of paying some taxes. Yes, I know you're amazed! Apparently, when they hire an accountant to fill in their tax forms they think the fee they pay should be tax deductible (it isn't for any other employed person). The so-called "Independent" (quotation marks mine) Parliamentary Standards Authority think MP's shouldn't pay tax on the fee and are arguing with HMRC over it.
But that's not all, the "Independent" Parliamentary Standards Authority, when they think there's a tax MP's shouldn't pay, they pay it for them. Which actually means WE pay it for them! Can other people have an "Independent" watchdog that pays taxes for them??
AND, is the tax paid by IPSA for MP's a taxable benefit? I bet it isn't!
