Ullger’s Retirement, McGrail Inquiry, Collectify, Income Tax Act, Sports

Today marked Richard Ullger's last day with the Royal Gibraltar Police. The outgoing Commissioner of Police is retiring after 37 years of service with the force. Mr Ullger took over from Ian McGrail as Commissioner in July 2020. He was originally set to serve for two years but his appointment was extended twice. An emotional moment for Richard Ullger, as Christine Vasquez confirmed.The cost of the McGrail Inquiry has hit £5.7M. It was 3 million in early April last year, so in the past 12 months the cost has almost doubled. As it is a public inquiry, it’s funded by the government with tax payers money. It was called to address public concern about how and why Ian McGrail retired early as police commissioner in 2020. But the fact the cost has risen to 5.7 million points to the many documents prepared by everyone involved in it since the last public hearings. We went through the final day of last week’s hearings in detail.Bringing generations together - one card at a time!

The Commissioner of Income Tax would get new powers, including involving a person’s professional or regulatory body when it’s believed they have submitted, or helped with, a tax return suspected to be inaccurate. We asked Grahame Jackson, the Chair of the Association of Tax Advisers, how the proposed law has gone down among industry professionals.And, Jose Mari Ruiz filled us in on the latest in local sports including the athletics round the rock race, a women’s hockey training camp and the latest football results as both Lincoln Red Imps and St Joseph’s have their eyes on the Rock Cup.
