Cleaners Strike

The Morning Star reports that cleaner who work in the HMRC offices in Merseyside are striking for a week over pay.


The cleaners, who are members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), were outsourced to contractor ISS.

They have asked the company to pay them £10 an hour. They also want holiday entitlements and full sick pay from day one of employment.

The strike, which began on Monday and runs until Friday, is the second in the cleaners’ campaign for better pay.

PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said:

“Our members are taking on a belligerent multimillion-pound contractor who refuses to pay the living wage.

With ISS making outlandish profits they can easily afford to pay people who keep HMRC offices in Liverpool clean £10 an hour.

Ministers in HMRC need to step in and take all contracted-out staff back in house and give them Civil Service terms and conditions.”

Sir Amyas Wants To Hear From You Re Loan Charge

The Chancellor, Sajid Javid, has commissioned an independent review of the Disguised Remuneration Loan Charge.

The independent review will be led by Sir Amyas Morse, former Chief Executive and Comptroller and Auditor General of the National Audit Office. The review will focus on the impact of the Loan Charge on individuals who have directly entered into disguised remuneration schemes.

The Terms of Reference specify that the review will report and provide independent recommendations to the government by mid-November. They also specify that, whilst the review is ongoing, the Loan Charge will remain in force, in line with current legislation.

The government has said that it will consider and respond to the outcome of the Review once it has concluded.

Contacting the review and providing supporting evidence

Over the coming weeks, the review intends to consider the great deal of information publicly available on the Loan Charge ahead of writing its report.

The review is interested in hearing from a wide range of people and understanding their different perspectives to inform the review. If you would like to provide supporting documentary evidence then please email it to: secretariat@loanchargereview.org.uk

The terms of reference require the review to complete the report by mid-November, so any further material needs to be provided by September 30th.

Any evidence you send may be published or referred to as a part of the report, so do please identify any information that is confidential and explain the reasons why it cannot be published.

HMRC Breaching Data Protection Rights?

The Guardian reports that HMRC is facing a legal battle to block it from handing personal details about British citizens to US tax authorities.

The case could have wide-ranging implications for tens of thousands of so-called accidental Americans who left the US when they were months or years old but risk having their British bank accounts frozen for failing to comply with the US tax requirements.

The case will challenge the 2010 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca), which requires foreign financial firms with US operations – including UK banks – to report information about US taxpayers to the IRS or face huge fines.

Law firm Mishcon de Reya has taken on the UK case for a client who alleges HMRC is breaching citizens’ data protection and privacy rights by transferring vast amounts of financial and personal data to governments outside the EU.
