Said horse was alive when it landed upon said item of furniture. The furniture did not possess a load-rating adequate enough for the animal, which furniture them collapsed. Unfortunately fatally wounding the animal in the process. Apparently horses are fragile animals. I may also have used the phrase: "stands out like a horse on a land rovers bonnet" (which I have also seen; again deceased, and messily.)
Problems mit den revenue are going to increase dramatically soon, since the revenue staff are being heartily retired early or made redundant.
The rumour on the union grapevine is that revenue collection services (and enforcement) are soon to be contracted-out to one, or more, of the Big Four accountancy companies.
Look for the announcement of bits and pieces leaving for BF administration !

Oh, and listen for one of the larger unions removing contributions to the labour party as well....Give nothing: Get nothing.

The writing to HMRC and getting agreement is quite clear - any of you who claim subsistence expenses via a large company will doubtless be enjoying this tax free.
Suggest you need to find an HSE inspector - mind you not sure many will be talking to this forum given the constant slagging they get currently - they all get PPE and see what the implication on their tax code is.....and then use the information back to HMRC - HMRC also owns Customs staff who definitely get foul weather PPE
ie use the same values that civil servants are paid / claim and it is very difficult for HMRC to say anything

Bruce Sutherland's mention of Customs staff with PPE reminds me of an occasion years ago during my HSE days of meeting a menacing-looking team in official-looking boiler suits, etc and armed with various implements including sledge hammers and crowbars waiting on a quayside for a cargo ship to be moored up. From a brief chat, after explaining my role and intention to inspect the unloading of the ship, I learned that the team was from what was then HM Customs & Excise and would be carrying out a search of the ship, from North Africa, mainly for illegal drugs. As the search was to be thorough and therefore could take some considerable time before anyone on board would be allowed to go ashore or unloading could begin, it seemed a good idea to go instead to check the unloading of another ship nearby.
