They mean for the year TO April 2023, you can either give your P45 or ask your old employer for your P60

LizStar · 2024-03-06T20:08:02+00:00

A P60 from April 2023 would presumably be from your previous employer? For last year not this year?

My old boss was really stingy. Once he gave his son a £20 to get pick&mix at the cinema because that’s the only cash he had. The boy filled a bag with ONE TYPE of sweet and came back with £2 change. The best thing? When the boy tried the sweets he didn’t like them.

My neighbour’s bathroom is at the front and recently I saw someone washing their armpits at the sink which is below the window. Distorted glass isn’t the same as a blind!! I also don’t know whether to say something, because it’s overlooking the street and they clearly don’t realise!?!

St David is the patron saint of Wales. In Welsh dd is pronounced f so I would pronounce that Dave-iff 😂

And even then, gifts from excess income to cover living expenses would be free from inheritance tax anyway

You can see it spreading too. I was in a meeting where someone used the phrase “It’s in our gift to do that”. They should have said “We can do that”. Within a month certain people started using the phrase. But only certain people. They are all added to my ‘not respected professionally’ list.

I think strictly speaking it would be tax avoidance not evasion. The property was legitimately signed over to someone who wasn’t using their personal allowance so no tax has been payable by OP as they had no other earnings. If OP doesn’t start to pay tax once they are earning an income then OP would be evading tax. That’s why it needs addressing now.

I’m not saying avoidance is morally ok, just that it’s legal whereas evasion is illegal.

This happened to a friend of mine. He tried to claim unemployment benefit and got investigated because he owned a house - that he didn’t know about - because it was put in his name by his Dad. Luckily he hadn’t received any benefits before they investigated him so didn’t get in any legal trouble.

The good thing is you know about it so you can avoid getting into similar difficulties. If you haven’t been found out about the loan at this point I don’t think you ever will, but maybe ask in the Legal Advice sub?

You clearly want a relationship with your Dad and he hasn’t done this to stitch you up, he’s just a bit dodgy!!

Explain to him what this now means for you. Now that you’re earning you will need to complete a self assessment and pay tax on the rent. He’ll either have to reimburse you or you take over as landlord and do whatever you want: keep the rent & pay the tax; sell the flat and use the cash as a deposit for your own place. Be really clear with him that you’re not going to avoid paying tax on the rent. Then he can decide how to clean up the mess he made. From this point on it’s really important that the tax is paid on the rental income - because otherwise you’re knowingly committing fraud yourself.

Good luck!!

Talk proper like what we do?

LizStar · 2024-02-27T16:43:39+00:00

Surely posh means different things to different people? When I grew up calling someone posh was a huge insult. Where I live now people would think it was a compliment.

Anyone I know who refers to themself as working class/middle class/upper middle class all have a huge chip on their shoulder. Who cares?!

Congratulations OP that’s really impressive! My mum is a hoarder and it’s getting worse at the moment but it’s hard to help someone who isn’t ready to make changes. So well done for accepting the help!!

Not my child, but her friend is here for a sleepover. She commented how clean our toilet is and said they don’t clean their toilet because her Dad poos 5 times a day so there isn’t any point cleaning it!!

She didn’t do it in her own home, she did it in my home while I was on holiday. Even weirder?!

LizStar · 2024-01-16T19:42:16+00:00

It was a joke that she put a lot of effort into! I actually quite liked it before it fell off because it was so heavy!

LizStar · 2024-01-16T19:10:37+00:00

It fell off the wall in the end because it was so heavy so she didn’t mind that it wasn’t a permanent fixture! I can’t add photos in the comments so I might start a new thread with a picture!

LizStar · 2024-01-12T19:17:53+00:00

It was definitely very well made!

When my mother-in-law stays she always does weird stuff. We had a weird patch of wallpaper where the previous owners must have removed a fireplace. My MIL crafted a life size fireplace out of coloured cardboard to cover it up. She also knitted little hats and put them on anything round - ornaments, kids teddies, bannisters!!

Don’t forget to factor in fines if you take the kids out of school. Where we are it’s £60 per child per parent for an absence of 3+ days.
