What’s happened up until now?
- Carol reminded staff of their responsibility for their own tax affairs in her email of 16 December after a number of staff asked for clarification. We had a discussion about tax during the meeting I chaired with all staff on 8 January to launch the new TACOS. On 22 January Tom sent an email with some FAQs which Carol had worked on before she left.
- The impression I have from conversations with local staff over the past week is that staff are clear about their tax liability as set out in their contract of employment. I won’t, therefore, rehearse the points made by Carol and Tom in their emails. I have copied them below if staff wish to read them again. There does, however, appear to be some confusion about what happens next.
