Hartnett's £50K Holiday Bank

Richard Brooks has just tweeted the following:

"What would your boss say if you asked to cash in 70 days unused leave? Have £50k? So said HMRC to retiring D Hartnett"

Seemingly, being able to cash in such a large holiday bank is not within the rules for less elevated civil servants (I understand that the norm is about a week or so).

Comments and views welcome!

Tax does have to be taxing.

Summer Holiday? - UPDATED

My thanks to a loyal reader who has pointed out that the last entry on HMRC's "What's New" page on the HMRC website is dated 13 July (well over a month ago).

Does this mean that nothing new at all has occurred during this period, or that the department that updates this page is on a protracted holiday?

Factoid: Our "illustrious" elected representatives are currently on a 47 day break.

UPDATE

Folks, proof positive that HMRC read this site. Since posting this morning that there were no updates since 13 July (and yes, I did check that myself), HMRC have now updated their "What's New" page!

Hoozah!

Tax does have to be taxing.
