It’s costing me about £450 a month in extra tax and NI contributions. BH Chorley, LancashireYour plight seems unnervingly similar to the case of a reader who was deemed dead by HMRC after it mistakenly gave her the NI number of a since-deceased stranger. I asked if, since you could view the other woman’s employment details, it had declared a data breach to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

The self-driving car company Waymo on Monday said it raised $16bn in a funding round that valued the Alphabet subsidiary at $126bn.

Waymo’s focus is on spreading its robotaxi service throughout the United States and internationally this year, the executives added. Waymo’s white Jaguars, equipped with cameras and sensors, have become a familiar sight on San Francisco and Los Angeles streets.
