He got the 2004 figures which are 21 years ago so pretty close to the 25. All obtained in a few seconds too. If he wants more he can look himself. Something which he clearly hadn't done.

You're not looking hard enough. This doesn't split out "civil servants" who are a very specific group of admin and specialist officers who include prison officers, air traffic controllers, vets, lawyers and accountants among others. IIRC these number around 2500 of all public servants. This was found using google. This is from an FOI late last year (number 3486125)

Have you spoken to her and asked her directly?

Politician talks through hole! Not really news😂

Its on the agenda paper for next week https://www.tynwald.org.im/spfile?file=/business/opqp/opqp/2024-PP-0050.pdf There's a link from that to the response document.

Weird post. P3 was in place until the English left the EU.

According to Gov figures £141m will be paid in pensions in 24-25 (FOI 3723609) The overpayments reported are 0.13% 80% relate to payments made after the public servant has died but before the paying authority knew. There can be a lag time between death and registration of death - in my dad's case just over two weeks due to a requirement for a post mortem. The only way a paying authority would know is if a relative informed them - among all the other things that go on following a death. No matter how much the OP dislikes public servants (which can be the only reason for the post), the amounts involved are tiny and the amount written off even smaller (£292 between 14.08.2019 and 29.02.2024 (FOI 3709850). As JW quite rightly points out, even shapeshifting corrupt public servants can't commit fraud after they die.

Perhaps is just you not being creditworthy😀

Don't forget the bloody Norwegians either, they invaded us too.

The rules are set out here https://www.gov.im/categories/tax-vat-and-your-money/income-tax-and-national-insurance/individuals/residents/tax-relief/ Pension contributions are deducted from your total income before your tax bill is calculated. They get relief at between 10% and 20% depending on whether you are in the 10% band, the 20% band or a mixture of the two.

Come on John. Dave's replaced Barrie as the forum expert on fucking everything.

That's just the first time buyer properties

While I don't disagree, look across the Atlantic to see what party politics is setting up in the US election.
