HM Revenue & Customs will be able to take money from people’s accounts in a move called ‘draconian’ by tax experts, with anyone owing over £1,000 at the risk of their bank paying the taxman directly
08:34, 25 Sep 2025Updated 09:16, 26 Sep 2025
The taxman has had powers restored to reach directly into people’s bank accounts and reclaim money from those who haven’t paid their taxes.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will be able to take money directly from the accounts in a move called “draconian” by tax experts.
Debtors owing more than £1,000 to HMRC could now see their bank or building society paying the taxman directly from their accounts, including cash ISAs.
The scheme, called Direct Recovery of Debts or DRD, was launched in 2015 but officials put it on hold during the Covid pandemic.

Now HMRC has officially relaunched the scheme, after Chancellor Rachel Reeves signed off on granting the new powers in the Spring Statement in March 2025.
The aim of the scheme is to target those who can afford to pay their tax bills, but have repeatedly refused to do so, officials said.
Most of those affected will be people who file a self-assessment tax return, for example self-employed people or those who receive significant income from investments, second properties or savings interest.
Before any money is taken out of their bank accounts taxpayers can expect to receive a visit from HMRC agents who will identify the taxpayer, make sure it is their debt and discuss options for repayment before taking action.
The new rules say people must be left with at least £5,000 in their account to enable them to cover essentials and HMRC have to allow 30 days for the person to appeal before they can take money directly out of someone’s account.
Meanwhile people who are identified as ‘vulnerable’ won’t be targeted under the scheme, HMRC has said. However, the new powers have been blasted by some tax experts.
“Given the pressure on public finances, it’s clear that HMRC is determined to get tougher on those who can pay but don’t pay,” Dawn Register, a tax dispute resolution partner at advisory firm BDO told This is Money.
“The relaunch of this draconian power underlines how important it is not to stick your head in the sand and ignore HMRC demands.”
According to government figures, HMRC owes £42.8 billion in unpaid taxes, a figure that is significantly higher since the pandemic. The government has said they plan to collect £11 billion more in owed debt by the end of 2030.
The treasury has invested £630 million to improve HMRC’s ability to recover debt, which includes hiring 2,400 new debt management personnel.
An HMRC spokesperson said: “Most people pay tax on time and in full – but it’s right that we seek to recover tax from the tiny minority who have the funds to pay but refuse to.
“These powers are subject to robust safeguards and we’ll continue to support customers who need help with their payments.”
For those who may have sparse or brittle eyelashes, beauty experts have all hailed the results of one specific eyelash serum that helps grow lashes in just a few weeks – and it’s under £40

Long fluttery eyelashes are something many women want to achieve – and this lash serum may just be the answer. UKLash Growth Serum (£38) has been a firm favorite of beauty buffs for a number of years, and many people have openly shared their before and after results – which are all pretty impressive.
One beauty fanatic decided to try out 13 different brands to find the best one, and she told Cosmopolitan how UKLash came out on top.
If you find yourself layering on mascara just to elogate your lashes, lash serums can help them grow naturally and raved about this specific one. The formula is packed with a number of high-grade ingredients including pentapeptide-17 and vitamin B7 – to encourage growth by stimulating keratin (protein) production, which is already present in your lashes.

The brand claims the serum provides 85% longer and 80% fuller-looking lashes for users as it works to nourish, condition and stimulate lash growth, resulting in longer-looking and healthier eyelashes. It’s also fortified with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and Green Tea extract too.
One user took to TikTok to share her impressive before and after from two months of using the serum – and you can notice the lashes looking longer and healthier. Posting under the name @ShellRowe, she said: “About 1000 of you have asked what I use on my lashes in the past day. I’m telling you @UKLASH is the GOAT.”

Users who have also used the serum have shared their thoughts, as one person said: “My short, almost non-existent lashes have doubled in length! I will always use UK Lash as the results are amazing.”
While a second said: “I have been using the lash serum for weeks at night time! I have really noticed a difference and people have mentioned them too me! Someone even thought they were falsies! This was paired with the mascara during the day. Will definitely be buying again.”
However a third penned: “Haven’t been using for the full 12 weeks yet. After 8 weeks I’ve taken a photo and can’t really see a difference. I would say that when wearing mascara there is a slight improvement so I will persevere and hopefully will see a difference by week 12.”
An alternative lash serum is The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum (£14) on Amazon, which promises similar results. It works to ssupport thicker, fuller, and healthier-looking lashes and brows. It also works to improve the volume and density too.
While RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum (£27) is another popular option available on LookFantastic. The concentrated serum to encourage the look of fuller lashes. Claiming to show visible results in up to eight weeks, it’s an effective yet gentle lash serum, designed to promote longer and fuller-looking lashes.
The serum is enriched with Hexatein 1 Complex, a uniquely-concocted blend of six high-performance ingredients: peptides, biotin, amino acids, panthenol, soybean oil and pumpkin seed extract and ideal for brittle, thin, pale or short lashes. The nourishing formula coats each fiber in a conditioning veil to protect against excess shedding.

(NEXSTAR) – Some payments from the US Social Security Administration will arrive a little bit differently this December.
No one will miss a check, but beneficiaries should expect their payments in their mailboxes (or bank accounts) on a different day than normal.
The Administration provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for adults and children with limited income, who are blind or have some other qualifying disability.
SSI benefits are paid on the 1st of the month, but holidays and weekends can alter the normal payment schedule. While the Dec. 1 SSI payment will go out as expected, another check will go out Dec. 31.
These are the most dangerous roads in the US for winter holiday travel, analysis finds
The second payment is actually January’s benefit, paid early because Jan. 1 is a holiday. Beneficiaries will receive a second payment – February’s – on Jan. 30, because Feb. 1 falls on a Sunday.
Nor for traditional Social Security benefits, when you get paid depends on when you were born. Recipients born between the 1st and 10th of the month receive their payment on the second Wednesday of the month. Those born between the 11th and the 20th will be paid on the third Wednesday, with the final group, those born between the 21st and the 31st getting their checks on the fourth Wednesday.
In January, the nearly 71 million Social Security recipients will see the annual cost-of-living adjustment kick in, raising payments by 2.8%, or $56 per month on average.
For the roughly 7.5 million Supplemental Security recipients, that increase will begin Dec. 31.
Meanwhile, many beneficiaries are bracing for an increase to Medicare Part B premiums estimated to be nearly $18, along with a $26 jump in the annual deductible.

Bishop Arun Arora is addressing a dilemma in the Church of England over welcoming people on both sides of the immigration debate by seeking unity
Gareth Talbot does not necessarily believe in God, but he has started going to church.
He felt compelled to do so after taking part in one of Tommy Robinson’s rallies in September.
“I never thought I had to choose before, but now I’m feeling like Christianity could be replaced, so that’s why I feel the church needs support,” the 36-year-old from Bradford says.
Gareth talks about the church in England being under “threat”, as he sees it, mainly from Islam. He says his concern is about the extreme elements of Islam, not the religion as a whole.
He also makes claims about all the Christmas markets in London being renamed “festive markets” and about some areas of the country becoming “fully Muslim”, as well as other reasons for feeling a need to engage more with Christianity.
Having now returned to the church he used to attend as a child with his grandmother in Little Horton, Bradford, Gareth says he wants to take more of an interest in what is going on there.
“It’s not that I’ve found God,” he says. “I’ve never felt you need to go to church to be a Christian, but it’s always been the Christian religion that’s kept our values and freedoms, and that’s why I need to support it now.”
Gareth has returned to church in Bradford
He was among those attending September’s Unite the Kingdom rallyand was in plenty of company. Many of the protesters, estimated to number between 110,000 and 150,000, who marched in central London that day carried Christian symbols such as wooden crosses, and placards featuring Bible verses. Some were dressed as crusader soldiers.
That was a lot to do with the man who organized the event, Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – the far-right figure who says he recently found Christian faith while in prison.
All this has left the Church of England, an institution steeped in national history and culture, but which has undergone decades of declining attendance at its services, grappling with fundamental questions.
How does it challenge what some see as misrepresentations of Christian values, while welcoming potential new churchgoers?
And how does it reconcile engaging those on one side of the debate like Gareth, with continuing its long-standing interfaith work to foster understanding between Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths and support asylum seekers?
When Gareth walked into the church in Little Horton, he met its vicar, the Reverend Derek Jones, who encapsulates the dilemma. Since then, Mr Jones has mainly been listening to Gareth and exploring what he means by British or Christian values.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to understand where he’s coming from and what he thinks it means to promote the values that he associates with the Christian faith,” says Mr. Jones.
The Rev Derek Jones is taking time to listen to Gareth and his views
“There are times when I question whether some of these movements fully understand the gospel that they seem to be walking behind, and my gut feeling is it’s more about identity than faith,” he adds.
It’s a “difficult road for the Church to walk,” he says.
This debate has left some prominent Christians feeling deeply uncomfortable. In September, a group of Church of England bishops joined leaders from other Christian denominations to condemn what they called the “co-opting of the cross” at Robinson’s rally as a means of causing division and “excluding others”.
While they acknowledged in an open letter that many of those at the rally felt a “deep sense of frustration at feeling unheard”, the bishops said the “cross was the ultimate sign of sacrifice for the other”, and that Jesus called on people to love their neighbors.
Their criticisms were echoed by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who said people should see migrants as vulnerable people just like them.
Yet away from the mainstream, Ceirion Dewar, who is a bishop in the small, more conservative, traditionalist Confessing Anglican Church, insists he will not be “lectured to” by these clergy.
Having started Robinson’s rally by leading a prayer – a request he felt was his “Christian duty” to accept – he says he saw thousands there who sincerely felt that Great Britain was “founded on Christian principles and from the Christian faith” and that this was being “eroded”.

He also spoke alongside Robinson at a previous rally in Trafalgar Square, telling the crowd the “nation was under attack” by Muslims, “woke ideology”, canceled culture and Labor MPs.
He says clergy should stop “judging people” and “get into the streets and listen to their concerns”.
Whichever perspective one brings, the emergence of Robinson and his supporters is clearly dividing Christians, and there is no easy answer for how the Church can approach it while remaining true to its deeply held value of tolerance.
In recent months, that tolerance and charity has been on display at a hotel housing migrants in West Yorkshire. There, members of local churches have expressed their Christianity by supporting asylum seekers.
But the migrants have also faced hostility and opposition to their presence, with weekly protests outside the hotel.
One of those staying there is Amir – not his real name – who four months ago came to the UK across the Channel on a small boat, having fled persecution in Iran. He has been baptized and has started going to church in Britain.
Last month he was beaten up close to the hotel, although the attackers and their motive is not known for certain.
“I hope it never happens to anyone else. I left my country because I didn’t feel secure, and now I don’t feel secure here,” says Amir.
He has now been granted leave to remain in the UK and says the fact he and the other migrants in the hotel have received support from church-goers has “been so important for us”.
As evening falls outside the migrant hotel, anti-immigration protesters and counter-demonstrators gather. Weaving between the two sides is the Bishop of Kirkstall, the Right Reverend Arun Arora, who is handing out chocolates.
Bishop Arora says he believes in healthy disagreement
The bishop, who was hugged by the organizer of the anti-immigration protest, says part of his role is to show that “God doesn’t have favoritism” and to provide a neutral space for people to be heard.
“Part of the reason that the organizer and I know each other, is that I reached out to him on social media to meet and break bread together and to say ‘How can we disagree well? How can we share this city knowing that we are going to take radically different views on this issue?’” he saysBishop Arora.
He also feels it’s important the Church calls out “injustice” and “hatred”, and criticizes what he refers to as “a narrow Christian nationalist ideology” he says has been on display of late.
Some in the Unite the Kingdom movement seem comfortable, even proud, of being called “Christian nationalist” – while others feel it is a term meant to malign some who are simply defending what they interpret as “Christian values”.
Bishop Arora’s use of that term and talking of “hatred” might not sound neutral to some of the anti-immigration protesters outside the migrant hotel. On the other side, some might be uncomfortable with him hugging the organizer of protests that left people in the hotel feeling intimidated.
But his attempts to find common ground may be an approach others in the Church are quietly adopting, too.
In January, Church of England bishops from around the country will gather – with “national unity and diversity” one of the topics on the agenda. A political theologian and other experts have been invited to help discuss the issue, which is seen as one of the biggest it currently faces.
When she was appointed in October, the Archbishop of Canterbury-elect Sarah Mullally described a divided society, warning “people are frightened for lots of reasons, and often that then presents in ways that, for other people, may feel threatening”.
Clergy like Mr Jones have largely been left to their own devices so far when it comes to welcoming people like Gareth to the Church, while supporting those who feel threatened by the movement to which he belongs.
Lee Soon-jae, one of South Korea’s most beloved actors, died on Tuesday at the age of 91, his agency announced.
In a career spanning more than 70 years across films, television and the stage, Lee was fondly known as the “national TV dad” for his many roles as a wise, older man.
This included two of his best-known performances – as a strict father in the 1991 soap What on Earth is Love, and a silly but lovable grandpa in the popular sitcom High Kick! which aired from 2006 to 2012.
News of his death has sparked an outpouring of tributes from young celebrities, including K-pop singers, speaking of his warmth and kindness, to President Lee Jae Myung.
“From theater to film and television, he brought us laughter, emotion, comfort and courage,” the president wrote on Facebook.
Lee was acting until last year, when he won the grand prize at the KBS Drama Awards for his lead role in the comedy series, Dog Knows Everything. He was the oldest South Korean actor to ever win the honor.
“You become old when you sit down and expect to be waited on,” he told fellow senior actors on the travel show Grandpas over Flowers.
The 2013 show, which revolves around senior stars making strenuous journeys abroad, became a cultural phenomenon.
Born in 1934 in Hoeryeong, a county now in North Korea, Lee was just four years old when his family moved south to Seoul.
He was working in his grandparents’ shop in the capital’s Namdaemun market when Korea was liberated from Japanese rule in 1945.
Lee studied philosophy at the prestigious Seoul National University but ventured into theater and, eventually, TV and films. He said he was inspired to act after watching Sir Laurence Olivier play the title role in Hamlet.
Lee appeared in some 140 TV shows throughout his career and continued to act on stage until October 2024, when he withdrew halfway through the run of the play Waiting for Godot because of an illness. He reappeared in public at the awards in December.
He also had a brief foray into politics. In 1992, he was elected as a member of parliament for the conservative Democratic Liberal Party, but at the end of his four-year term he did not run again.
Lee’s prolific career meant he has remained a household name for decades, just as familiar to younger audiences and at a time when Korean entertainment is one of the country’s biggest exports.
His celebrity has even spilled onto the internet where scenes of him from High Kick! have resurfaced as memes on TikTok in recent years.
Actor Yoo Yeon-seok, who studied under Lee, said he “exemplified acting” and Lee Soon-jae’s High Kick! co-star Jeong Bo-seok described Lee not just as a mentor in the industry, but a “true mentor in my life”.
He wrote on Instagram: “Teacher, thank you so much for everything. I learned and felt so much from you – not only about acting, but also about life and the attitude of an actor.”

When Byron Howard and Rich Moore’s smash hit (and eventual Best Animated Feature winner) “Zootopia” arrived in theaters in early 2016, the energetic and very funny fable turned a clever idea (a world only populated by mammals, but they sure act human!) into an enduring classic with some genuinely moving lessons to spare. How enduring? Well, nine years on, and the fervor around the film’s long-awaited first sequel has in no way diminished. Fans are, well, they’re feral for it.
They may also be feral for some similarly long-awaited retconning and clarifications. As smart and savvy as the film’s original premise is, it came with plenty of unanswered questions, like “why just mammals” and “where the heck are the birds and reptiles” and “what’s the deal with the crackling romantic chemistry between our two leads, who happen to be different species.” And while directors Jared Bush (who co-wrote the first film and became chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2024) and the returning Howard don’t answer all of these queries, they address many of them, and still manage to come away with a sparkling and inventive sequel.
The film’s opening sequence provides a very light catch-up on the events of the first film, reminding us of the bond between our leads (plucky bunny cop Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, and her unlikely best pal, the former criminal fox Nick Wilde, voiced by Jason Bateman) and their big! unexpected! win! from the first film. Designed as a buddy cop outing, the first “Zootopia” saw the pair team up to take down a vast conspiracy that threatened the harmony of their home (and offered a sterling set of messages about the need for equality and understanding over racism and fear).
But despite Nick and Judy’s success — major enough that former con artist Nick has now officially joined the Zootopia Police Department to work alongside his zippy BFF — things just keep on moving in Zootopia. Taking place only a week after the events of the first film (the magic of animation!), questions already abound regarding the sustainability of Judy and Nick’s partnership. And partnership, as Chief Bogo (voiced by Idris Elba) tells us and I say, “is the cornerstone of success.”
‘Zootopia 2’ DISNEY
Are Nick and Judy really too different to succeed? A brand-new case offers some help. And, of course, plenty of obstacles. (At 108 minutes, the film does occasionally feel a bit too long, although the constant introduction of new locales and whiz-bang jokes manages to prop up most moments of flailing interest.)
Bush and Howard wasted no time expanding the world of Zootopia, which is busy celebrating its “Zootennial,” a hundred years of harmony and prosperity within its heralded walls. And it’s those walls we’re about to hear plenty about, as Zootopia only really exists because of the clever construction of a series of “weather walls” that allow the numerous climates (and their mammal inhabitants) to co-exist side-by-side. Thank the powerful Lynxley family for such a gift, as everyone in Zootopia has long believed that Ebeneezer Lynxley was the one responsible for such a smart idea, and Zootopia itself.
There is, however, one kind of weird thing about all that. Reptiles! Miss ’em? The population of Zootopia doesn’t, as legend has long held that Ebeneezer was nearly offended by a vicious viper just nor he was preparing Zootopia and its weather walls. That viper even killed a beloved Lynxley family maid, a crime so heinous and so horrible that it led to the immediate banishment of each reptiles in Zootopia, not just the snakes. See? That’s why there are no reptiles in Zootopia.
Except, well, Judy and Nick may have just found one. Judy, hellbent as ever on do-gooding and crime-fighting, even follows their slinky new potential baddie all the way to the Lynxley mansion during a massive gala (yes, the Shakira-voiced pop star Gazelle is also there, and she’s stunning), during which the blue pit viper makes off with Ebeneezer’s journal, which holds all of the early plans for the much-ballyhooed weather walls. Intent on proving the viability of their partnership, Judy and Nick alight on yet another case that puts the health and happiness of every Zootopia inhabitant on the line.
Following the proud lineage of films like “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” and “Step Up Revolution,” the real baddie of “Zootopia 2” is out-of-control property development and evil business tycoons. The Lynxley family may be responsible for the existence of Zootopia (emphasis on the May), but does that entitle them to bulldoze through whatever they want? All of Zootopia might be thrilled about the upcoming expansion of Tundratown, but no one seems at all concerned about what needs to be destroyed to make that happen. Not Chief Bogo, not newly installed handsome horse mayor Brian Winddancer (voiced by Patrick Warburton), not even the Big family, little Arctic shrew mafiosos who know a thing or two about being hunted.
But Judy cares. And that means Nick has to care, too. But as they zip through Zootopia, encountering new friends (like the Fortune Feimster-voiced beaver Nibbles Maplestick, obsessed with conspiracy theories) and new locations (like Marsh Market, a Disney-fied mash-up of Florida and New Orleans) along the way, their differences become more pronounced. And when that pit viper, who we soon learn is named Gary De’Snake (voiced by Ke Huy Quan), keeps popping up with a very new version of Zootopia’s history, even Judy and Nick seem breakable.
That’s not to imply that “Zootopia 2” isn’t funny, zippy, and highly enjoyable — it is indeed — but it’s also got the kind of heart that has too long seemed to be missing from other Disney animated offerings. There’s a weight to the message of the film. There’s real care behind the bond between Nick and Judy. There’s an absolutely incredible “The Shining” montage that will delight parents and terrify children for decades to come. Worth the wait? Yes, and we can’t wait for the next one to take wing (wink).
Grade: B+
Disney will release “Zootopia 2” in theaters on Wednesday, November 26.
