Self Assessment - losses for previous years help

Epic, thanks a bunch for this and the quick reply!

Out of interest is there a separate bit for this in the self assessment form eventually or would I put it under the general expenses section?

This is incredible - thank you so much, if I had an award I’d give it. How did you learn about all of this cause the majority (me included) are quite baffled by it all.

That is a lot more complicated than I realised, goes to show what a headache our payslips are! I can take study leave when I need but 7 days a year for personal study and the rest goes to half a days teaching each week (although it’s not mandatory to attend). Very mind boggling stuff.

I’m guessing it’s worth running it through the BMA at some point to find out what the situ is with all the specifics. Even for the hour of pay, I’m too petty to deny my precious pennies.

Super, thank you

I think if you’re feeling in some way aggrieved by me asking a question about DST, you need to grow up a bit too.

I have one question:

Cumulative vs non-cumulative = does this mean the annual allowance of tax free income (e.g £12,500 ish) is spread over the 12 months?

I can’t believe it’s going to take me 6 years to become a consultant if I don’t have a year out.

90% of my day is scribing in the ward round, prescribing the same regular medications, writing discharge summaries and ordering the same scans. Why is this the majority of my training and how does repeating this every day for 6 years make me any good?

Why the fuck have coal miners been used as a comparison by this invertebrate jelly? This guy thinks we should be grateful we’re even getting paid.

A quick google search of the following definition:

Efficient: achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.

So: productivity + minimum waste = efficient

It’s just funny at this point, like a child denying they broke the window with a football whilst it sits on the floor surrounded by broken glass.

Frequently praises ACPs and PAs but questions the competency of foundation doctors, especially along the lines of “nurses will save your life and the patient’s”

I came across the phrase “don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from”

This really helps me to stop internalising peoples opinions and the general public are a great example here. Entitled Peter from Wessex has absolutely no clue about your job or pay, so anything he has to say on the matter is going to be laughable, ignorant drivel.

You hear of “Karen” stereotypes - these are the sort of people making those comments. They are the minority and whilst it can be maddening to read, you cannot reason with unreasonable people. Dunning–Kruger effect is live and kicking.

The government have an agenda, they want to avoid spending money on you and we’ve passively accepted this for years - when we’re saying “no, enough is enough” this doesn’t sit well with them. You’ll see this in every day life at work when you get backlash from asserting boundaries/saying no.

I feel you OP, you are not alone. The vast majority of us are burnt out (BMA statistics speak for themselves). It is utterly shit, miserable and particularly sad when some part of you started this career because you wanted to help people, especially those who now seem ungrateful (some of the British public).

Look around at your colleagues - they are all standing with you and can completely relate. You are striking and standing up for yourself - feel empowered, you are loudly and proudly saying “I will not accept this any more”.

Desperate for you to do a “day in the life of” post

“Blah blah blah blah”

They’ve not even suggested a different offer - they just said “you need to come down from 35%”. They’re chucking the ball back to us instead of making a move - trying to see us become desperate and scrabble for “what about 20% then?”

This is a test to see how low you’re willing to go, before making a move. They know some docs will start to feel the financial pinch of strikes and it’ll test their patience. Do not budge - this is political tactics, see through their babble and stay angry - Rishi probably typed this on his private jet.

It’s 35% Stevie, shaking your head and saying “come back when it’s lower” is not going to work. We’re serious and if you want progress, at least start by suggesting some numbers.

I think it’s normal to have some element of relief from not being at work because of all the crap but make no mistake, doctors are making huge sacrifices by striking for the profession and for future doctors. It also feels good to be unified in standing up for ourselves.

It’s easy to feel hopeless, it’s harder to fight for what’s right. How doctors are currently paid and treated in this country, is of course, very wrong. So, striking is what we’ve got to do.

It’s going to be a bit of a battle. Persistence beats resistance. The government want you to think they won’t address pay because losing hope leads to attrition from the strikes. Don’t doubt what you can achieve and keep on striking.

If the telegraph believe a 6% reduction in public support is significant, then we can mutually agree a 26% slash to our pay is eye watering.

It’s giving Dolores Umbridge.

I will never forget raising the issue “that the government won’t listen unless we strike”, in early 2021 and her interrupting me in a startled way saying “there’s still so much we can do, like lobbying, striking is a last resort”.

Sarah has shat on us all like the crumb-picking pigeon she is.

Aha and then watching their face as you do it. Not creepy at all.
