Corporate Rentals, HMRC Delays, Cost of Living

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Research shows private renters face the highest housing costs for the poorest quality housing available. Will the big city investment companies moving into the market improve things? Is so-called micro-living really the answer to tenants dissatisfaction with small private landlords. You and Yours reports. According to new figures hundreds and thousands of us are filling in self assessments every year, despite owning little or no tax. No wonder the tax office has had to waive fines for those who file late. But is HMRC drowning in a sea of paperwork? And why is it sending demands for returns to people who don't need to file one? You and Yours investigates.
