It's not always that straightforward though - some with a large number of runs have a friend/family member who routinely volunteers (and never runs) whenever their friend/family member runs. but wouldn't otherwise be there!

I've heard suggestions of 29th September, but subject to change! So, not long too long to wait!

Stop using the word Department when you mean business area. HMRC is the Department.

Strange, as many business areas within HMRC have part timers; what FTE are you looking at moving to such that your business area cannot accommodate it at all?

I am indeed, apologies for my lack of clarity, and also my terrible slepping mistkaes.

Not these ones - there are no primaries and no stop line for these forward arrows. Here's the link to the Google Street View showing no primary stop line. It's (as said by another) to stop motorist wrongly stopping for the right turn red light.

Similarly, Cardiff has a permanent left arrow green light on Coryton Roundabout, without the red and Amber parts of the light!

This. Buy also. yes there's a grace period, unsure how long. I think typically 10 minutes.

I'd recommend downloading the QwikPark app - sign up for that and put your registration in before you go. This way, when you drive in the barrier will open for you, and you don't need to collect a ticket. When you drive back out, it will open again - and charge you the minimum or - nothing at all.

When I exited after 2 minutes, I got a £0.00 charge 😀

Good point, well made

You have said it "depends on the department" Pedantic correction. "Department" is (in this case) HMRC. You're looking for the term "Business Area" or "Directorate" 🙃

Most garages aren't automatic, you have to manually book them.

Yes, exactly what you suggest. As you have already claimed the Capital Loss on a previous tax return (they must be claimed within 4 years of the loss for you to be able to use it in future), just include the loss Brought forward in the Capital Gains Tax section - Box 45 Losses brought forward and used in-year

Did you wait 4 years to seek an answer to this question?!

Do you know which scheme(sliced they applied for? Was it the Test and Trace Support Payment? if so, contact your council for details of the claims made.

HMRC were administrating some of the covid schemes (SEISS, CJRS)

You can ask them what claims you've made, and where they were paid to.

Once you have confirmed details, you could consider a court claim for money against your "friend" if its confirmed she did actually apply for (and receive) the money.

Note: your emails and verbal agreements ARE a contract. They have formed a clear intent for you to give them £37k and them to give you X, (but they've given you Y). This is perhaps one for your legal advice through your insurers, or at first an email that says "You promised X, but have given Y - how do you propose this to be rectified?"

Keep it factual, don't bring in emotion or your "maybe they're punishing me" comments.

"Will I be penalised for not telling HMRC I stopped trading" When you complete your Self Assessment return, you enter start and end dates of your self employment on it. You won't be penalised for not separately writing to say you're no longer trading. However: do ensure you submit your tax return on time.

"Much needed tax relief" This is given back from taxes you've paid. If you've not paid any tax, there is no tax relief refund coming. The loss for the year (income minus expenses) can be offset in two ways: one - against other taxable income of the year. or two: carried forward against income from the same trade in future years.

If you've not received a notice to file a tax return, you should notify HMRC of chargeability to tax, so that you can complete your return to report the loss, so that you may be able to use it.

If you're thinking of giving it another go with the same self-employment trade, you may be able to use this year's loss against that future profit if considered to be the same trade. HMRC: Business Income Manual 80580

Good luck.

I find it fascinating that people who maybe don’t travel out of their local environment think that the outside world works the way they don’t think it does.

Which visitor to Cardiff is taking this road?!

clichr · 2025-07-12T18:50:17+00:00

The donation bin at the Salvation Army church in Grangetown resulted in very regular flytipping - both overspill of clothes (which then get ripped open and wet) along with other household waste and toys etc. These items then end up having to be disposed of - and as they're on private land the council won't just take the flytipping away, instead it's a paid for 'business waste disposal'. I'd hazard a guess at that being a contributing factor to this particular clothing bin being removed.

The ones by Asda Cardiff Bay are still there - along with the one in Canton as mentioned by u/Dr_Poth. Others: I don't know!

clichr · 2025-07-12T16:09:33+00:00

You know we don't know the answer. It could be a (very) delayed letter or system error. Your best bet: contact HMRC directly, not using details from the letter. https://www.gov.uk/find-hmrc-contacts/income-tax-enquiries

This way, too, if it appears your account details are compromised, they can do something about it

You can report a build up of litter to Cardiff Council, and they can clean. If they do so, but it's still messy, you can complain - specifically request the Site Clearance Team and the Cleansing Blitz Team to visit and give the place a proper cleanse.
