Bonfire Night: Legal rules around fireworks change three times this week - what you need to know

HMRC now possesses the legal authority to recover debts exceeding £1,000 directly from individual bank accounts. Simultaneously, regulations governing the use of fireworks are being relaxed this week. These changes coincide with Bonfire Night falling on a Thursday and the celebration of Diwali within the same period. These updates ensure that taxpayers are aware of debt recovery powers while the public is informed about the temporary shifts in legal rules regarding firework displays during these festivities.
