HMRC gives trans people access to VIP hotline

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/co...o-vip-hotline/

Transgender taxpayers have been given lifetime access to an HMRC hotline reserved for MPs and members of the Royal family.

The special tax service, known as “Public Department 1” (PD1), provides a dedicated phone line for high-profile taxpayers. It typically answers their calls around twice as fast as those made to the tax office’s general customer service line.

People who legally change their gender with a Gender Recognition Certificate, an official document confirming their transition, have their records restricted by the tax service – meaning only a select few officials can access them.

They are then told to contact PD1 with “questions about your tax or National Insurance”, as outlined in guidance published on HMRC’s website.

HMRC insisted the policy was necessary because the records of transgender people required “greater protection” to ensure confidentiality under equality laws.

I didn’t know that the BBC owned HMRC. Or is it the other way round, appropriately?

Worth pointing out that those who actually have a GRC are a very tiny minority of our so-called ‘transgender’ population. Most people who say they’re transgender are just crossdressers, a few are body-modders (mainly hormone treatment, sometimes surgery), and a very few go the whole hog and apply to get their documents changed. In these cases the State has to pretend it doesn’t know that a man is a man (or vice versa) and treat him as a woman, and that involves as few public sector workers as possible getting access to any official record that might give the game away.

You can put this down to the law of unintended consequences behaving as normal rather than any deliberate attempt to plate favourites.

Any confidentiality issues are limited to tax, nothing else. Not sure the media would be that interested, so what's the issue?

The system for VIPs is to avoid all and sundry looking up their details. How could that happen where all and sundry don't even know a persons name, never mind that they exist. No valid purpose to this.

Like I sort of said. Infiltrated by the BBC.
