  1. 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.
  2. Perhaps is just you not being creditworthy😀
  3. Don't forget the bloody Norwegians either, they invaded us too.
  4. 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.
  5. Come on John. Dave's replaced Barrie as the forum expert on fucking everything.
  6. That's just the first time buyer properties
  7. While I don't disagree, look across the Atlantic to see what party politics is setting up in the US election.
  8. Not quite Fred. There is still no RSE being taught. The most disturbing thing was a criminal case where an abused child only found out they'd been abused after attending an RSE lesson and learning about their body and what improper conduct was. How many more are out there suffering because of the ridiculous pathway Edge and DESC followed and are still following. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/manipulative-monster-jailed-for-sexually-abusing-two-children/
  9. The first flounce of March. Well done sir
  10. Have a read of the UK law and then cite some specific examples https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/misconduct-public-office#:~:text=Misconduct in public office (“MiPO,of the public office held.
  11. Mad as a hatter! No, wait, madder.
  12. Loganair from LPL landed at 0914 and a private jet from Biggin Hill landed at 0944 and Loganair from Birmingham landed at 1003. That doesn't look like a closed airport - at least at the time EZY was due to arrive.
  13. The current instructions are set out on page 8 of the tax office's Employer Guide. I don't recommend it as a read unless you have insomnia! It's GN46 on this list https://www.gov.im/categories/tax-vat-and-your-money/income-tax-and-national-insurance/tax-practitioners-and-technical-information/guidance-notes/ A new employee in a subsidiary employment should be on code SB (standard band up to £6500 pa thereafter at the higher rate) until the employer hears otherwise from the tax office. Once the tax office are aware of the employment they'll look at the overall circumstances of the worker and decide whether SB is correct or should it be replaced with something else. Overall the amount of tax charged is going to be the same, but someone with a second job can choose to pay more at their main job and pay nothing at the little one. You're quite right that the higher rate can make a second job less attractive, but a letter, email or phone call to the tax office can get it changed to suit the preference of the worker.
  14. The lower rate (or standard band) applies to everyone and not just those with jobs. You can split your code between jobs or pensions. Subsidiary employment is charged at the standard band or the higher rate depending on your circumstances the high rate doesn't automatically apply. Your code is simply a method of collecting your tax. You can ask for it to be adjusted if you want things done differently.
  15. From the 23/24 pink book
  16. Tesco represent the second coming of Christ and will save us all - apparently
  17. Perhaps looking it up may assist https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/offices/road-transport-licensing-committee/ppv-drivers-operators/ppv-driver-application-forms/

    Fred - some Kendal fans were stranded due to the weather. It didn't make national news but was mentioned on regional news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce4e5p7zqj4o . Ramsey Rugby Club were similarly stranded in Manchester the same weekend for the same reason. You appear to be implying that the Isle of Man is shit due to some travel disruption caused by a large storm, which seems a little thin - even for MF which seems to be the place where people come to run down the IOM.
  19. Apparently not. The word on the forum is that it was driven by central gov who virtually forced Braddan to build it with all sorts of threats. Elvis is apparently going to open it formally and do a free live gig afterwards too.

    Then why oh why do you come on here pontificating about other people's business ventures. I think I know - its ego. Like Derek fucking Flint. He's not been in the titheads for 5 years but still comes on here like he runs the local force.
  21. Its a conspiracy. They do it deliberately just to make you drive a few minutes longer
