Re: Eight cents off the tax on fuel for 3 months

Reading the article I reckon it's November for fuel and December for heating oil, most likely the 1st of each month.

Re: You do NOT need to change a Yellow Slip for an MUKW ID card

What a mess, one post says the High Commision says you don’t need to change another post says the High Commision says you do, yet another post from a person who has completed the appointment makes no mention of the application form and yet another says you have to complete the application form.

Re: Old Topics Revisited: UK Government scraps pension triple lock for 2022/23

If and it’s a big if they keep the triple lock and the amount is 10.1% is actually going to be 8% in real income because 20% of it will go straight back in income tax.

Re: UK Politics: Truss Resigns

Apparantly Truss will get £18,860 in severance pay that’s £419,11 for each day she was in office, also she is entitled to claim up £115,000 a year in allowances for life, as are all ex PMs, plus she will get the usual ultra good member of parliament pension, not a bad job if you can land it.
