Here is another "initiative" the government is implementing as we speak, yet when were we the public informed of this ?
I just had a meeting at work today, we had a little man from the home office taking part of the meeting. Not sure if any of you guys have heard of the changes ahead for us in the UK, our government are bringing in something called the "real time initiative".
Basically every time you get paid by your employer they now have to submit a report on you, everything goes to this new department, your full name, DOB, address, exact amount of wage, tax paid, NI paid..everything about you. The government are saying this is to make sure you pay the correct amount of tax BUT its what they are doing with this info thats worrying. There 9000 people employed in Newcastle to sift through this info, its been cross referenced against ALL out standing debts IE poll tax, council tax, parking fines, speeding tickets, child maintenance basically any... money your are due to any government department from ANY time in your life. They are then issuing enforcement orders to your employer to take this cash directly from your next wages. My company are part of the pilot scheme for this, we did a test of 100 employees....19 enforcement orders came back, 2 people were deported.
This is all been tied in with the scrapping of ALL benefits and replacing them with the "Universal benefit" this is the ONLY thing people can claim and is caped per address at 16000 for 1 person household and 26000 for multiple persons.
They are also going to enforce the rarely used payment for ER treatment if you cant prove that you have a UK residence, so if your in an accident are are not able to give them your NIN, then you will get a bill for ER treatment, you then have to claim it back at a latter date once you can prove your a UK resident.
Please
