Even though I finished my return and the screen logged me out because I hit the button... I have had no email receipt! Last time this happened @HMRCgovuk refused to believe I had sent it and are chasing me, and fining me, for a return where I was owed a substantial refund.

@hevenlydesserts @HeidiHenders The Employment Rights Actย 1996 says employees CANNOT be charged for uniform if it takes them below national minimum wage. PPE, which includes footwear, MUST be paid for by the employer. On this basis Heidi you have a case for unfair dismissal via the employment tribunal.
