James Read

I HAVE IT! 🥹 The physical, actual thing in my hands, from the wonderful people at @PenguinUKBooks I can't wait to get all your copies out to you (🔗 in bio if you still need to order) #BookTwitter

@HMRCcustomers No, it is not taxed in the origin country.

@jamesreadwrites Further to your initial message, is the income from the country of origin going to be taxed by the country's tax authorities in question? Tom

Good morning, we’re here until 8pm to answer your general queries 💬 Please don’t post any personal details ❎

@HMRCcustomers OK, so if it is self-employed income and no tax has been deducted, does it just go in with all other self-employed income and doesn't need to be declared separately?

@jamesreadwrites tax credit relief. If it is income under PAYE you must include it on an employment page and any foreign tax on the foreign page. You may wish to call us to discuss in more detail. Suchona 2/2

@HMRCcustomers Hi, do you have any more information please? It seems like this would be the most common scenario for overseas income.

@jamesreadwrites I will check this further for you and get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Suchona

@HMRCcustomers Thanks. Is that the correct category for 'normal' income (i.e. income from work, rather than from savings, pensions and anything else)? And then which box should I put the income in on the following page? The one that says "If you've received a benefit from a person abroad"?

@jamesreadwrites Hi thanks for waiting. If there is no category this would go under any other overseas income and gains. Suchona

@HMRCcustomers any thoughts? I can't reach you by phone (after 10 minutes of apparently unnecessary menu diving the line is deemed too busy and the call ended)

@HMRCcustomers Where do I input foreign income when filling out my tax return? It isn't from dividends, savings or any of the other options I'm given on the Foreign income details page, and I haven't yet paid tax on it overseas. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to add it.

First thing I've written since my second-born, and I really enjoyed it! A piece about why I love fermentation for @ckbk's 'Consuming Passions' series - thanks for the commission @MJCockerill app.ckbk.com/features/consu…

My book's just been indexed on @eatyourbooks - if you don't already use it, it's a great website that lets you search all the recipes in your cookbooks (e.g. for sauerkraut, to remind yourself you could be making pierogi with it) #detail-tabs-recipes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eatyourbooks.com/library/232211…

@StrappingLass @BookishJulia @everygoodthing9 @megmuck Thank you!! But also, oh no! I'm sorry for your kitchen (though it is somewhat a rite of passage - release bottle-tops regularly, or use plastic so you can see the bulge)

@jamesreadwrites @BookishJulia @everygoodthing9 @megmuck My great tepache incident is still remembered with much hilarity - a good lesson in not underestimating the power of fermentation and in not forgetting to release the bottle caps on your tepache regularly unless you want to do a fridge deep clean and then redecorate your kitchen!

It's gift-buying time! If you've got anyone ferment-curious in your life, I've put together a whole list of my favourite ferment & ferment-adjacent books (yes, my own has snuck on there, I'm shameless) including @bookishjulia @everygoodthing9 @megmuck uk.bookshop.org/lists/a-few-of…

@neilbuttery @DeliciousLegacy Cheers Neil!

A really great recent episode on @DeliciousLegacy with the fantastic @jamesreadwrites talking about fermentation. Very interesting indeed. We need to get back on the kimchi-making at my place I think. open.spotify.com/episode/3jNuLQ…

Alright, I'm finally moving to #bluesky properly. Here's the link for my occasional fermenting & food chat (don't redact pls) bsky.app/profile/jamesr…

It was such a pleasure to talk to James and to taste some home-made fermentation in action, like Soy sauce, tepache, and kimchi! And of course trace the long history! with @jamesreadwrites

Fermented food is literally all around. Why do we love them so much? When did we start making them intentionally, and crucially are they good for our health? With @jamesreadwrites Of Cabbages and Kimchi, A History of Fermentation in Ten Foods shows.acast.com/the-delicious-… via @acast

@Aquamaz Great thought - that does look very possible! Having finished the series now it isn't ever addressed so I'm all the more curious.

@jamesreadwrites Braille?

So, the pattern of the office cubicle walls in Ludwig is definitely a code, right? Rosicrucian cipher? (if this is revealed in a later episode just pretend I've been v smart pls)

@TicketmasterCS how do I access TV on the radio presale?

@TicketmasterCS @MrNishKumar Can you tell the rest of us please?

@MrNishKumar Please see DM. Thanks!

Are Mobile tickets available for your event? No more wondering where you put your tickets or waiting for the postman >>> bit.ly/2WhkZPT bit.ly/3pJlPHI

Thanks very much for the kind book recommendation @MarkDiacono in this great fermentation guide by @finney_clare theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…
