The press release following the 2007 Budget which referred to ‘Tackling worklessness in London’. Whatever happened to ‘unemployment?’ Perhaps it is too redolent of the 1970s? On the current self-assessment I am asked ‘Did you receive, or do we consider you to have received, income from a trust, settlement or a deceased person’s estate?’
My response would be ‘If you don’t know whether you consider me to have received trust income, how on earth should I know?’
