MONEY expert Paul Lewis whos not short of a bob or two, is happy to pocket his £200 winter fuel allowance, rather than hand it back to George Osborne. He gift-aids it instead to young homeless charities. Cheers, Paul. By gift-aiding this tax free payment it will be worth £250 - another £50 from George Osborne - when it reaches the charity. And if I give £267 the charity will get £334 and, when I settle my self-assessment tax bill, it will have cost me just 25p. So thank you Iain Duncan Smith and George Osborne for giving me a bit more money to help the growing number of young people left destitute by your sanctions (taking their benefit away if they fail to jump through all the JobCentre hoops). Left unhoused by councils whose government grants you have cut. And left with nothing by employers who want them to turn up as and when there is a bit of minimum wage work and go away unpaid if there is none, because your Government has not legislated to end zero hours contracts.
