Letters: Money matters

It is early in the new year, so it must be time for the GOC to be demanding their fees again – probably around the fortieth time for me.

I wonder if their finance department has ever heard of monthly or even quarterly direct debits?

It must be nice to have all your income in by March 31 each year, not to mention the extra interest received. Does this august organisation ever consider that we, their paymasters, might also have cashflow issues? Some fortunate employees are reimbursed by their employers, but many are not – especially the self-employed. So why, when we can pay monthly for insurance, car tax, power and council tax,can the GOC not figure out how to do the same?
