The UK economy grew by more than initially estimated at the start of this year, according to the ONS. The economy grew by 0.7% between January and March 2024, up from the previous figure of 0.6%. This is due to growth in the UK services sector that helped to push it even higher. Another positive is that the UK inflation rate fell to its lowest level in almost three years. According to the ONS, the Consumer Prices Index rose by 2% in May 2024, down from 2.3% in April. This means that whilst prices are still rising, they're increasing at their slowest pace since July 2021. #economy #news #inflation

HMRC has failed in responsiveness, ease, and accuracy according to the annual HMRC Charter report. The survey received over 1,600 responses, with complaints about service levels a recurring theme. “Being responsive” scored the lowest of the Charter standards, with an average score of just 2.4 out of 10. “Making things easy” and “getting things right” also scored poorly, at 2.8 and 3.5 respectively. The remaining standards – “being aware of your personal situation”, “treating you fairly”, “recognising that someone can represent you”, “mutual respect” and “keeping your data secure” – scored higher at 4.1, 5.0, 5.7, 5.6 and 6.8 respectively. Richard Wild, the Chartered Institute of Taxation's (CIOT) Head of Tax Technical, said: “Businesses are prevented from operating effectively due to the inability to obtain timely registrations or responses.” “Taxpayers' legitimate refunds are withheld or delayed. Guidance and correspondence from HMRC is misleading or incorrect. All these things are inhibitors on growth and investment.” #HMRC #failing #report #news

🎉So excited, fab news 🎉 3 years ago, yesterday, we set up the 'LinkedIn Company Page' for The Verity Centre , I know the company began 1st March 2021, however, I would say that was when we were created. However 22nd May 2021 was when we put our toe in water and told the world we were on our way, so this was the day we showed everyone the 'scan' and said we are about to ARRIVE...... So at that time no followers, nobody knew us, 3 years on we now have, 3,500 followers for The Verity Centre . It so far has been a very interesting and exhilarating journey, but that's not for today. If you are following, thank you so much, it means everything to me, and if you are not, why not jump on board and enjoy the next stage of our journey. We are The Verity Centre - we are Positively Different #news #LinkedIn #Followers #Marketing #PublicRelations #CustomerExperience #CX #BPO #ContactCentre #HumanExperience #People #UniversityofPortsmouth #Retail #Medical #Pharma #Insurance #Banking #FinancialServices #Utilities #Energy #OilandGas

There’s a lot of scepticism around umbrella companies. To put it simply – umbrella companies process the payroll of temporary workers (PAYE) and are responsible for deducting the correct tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs). These are sent to HMRC directly. Assuming you choose a compliant umbrella company you have absolutely nothing to worry about! Using an umbrella is straightforward and is one of the easiest ways to get paid if you’re a contractor. Umbrella companies offer reliable payroll for contractors, freelancers, and temporary workers who find themselves inside IR35. If you have further questions talk to us here at NumberMill and we can set your mind at ease. #IR35 #UmbrellaCompanies #Contractor
