HMRC will still know where you work on any particular day - assuming you're being paid for the job you're doing on that day.
Census 2021
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
I've just triple checked and I wasn't asked for the address, just the company name.
There's a single line text entry field for the company name, nothing more.
I stand corrected!

I always laugh when I see this. Then I remember this study https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/10601 and laugh even more about the desperate degenerate individuals that have this mindset.

I definitely got asked for my wife's work address but not for myself? Presumably because I answered that she primarily travels to an office and I primarily travel from home?
She was also asked if her work is primarily in the UK but I didn't. The only question she answered differently is that she was born in Wales and I was born in England.
That's a good point, there could well be some logic behind the questions that doesn't ask for a work address if you primarily work from home. Good spot

This was a very strange question;
The question should be "Is the gender you identify the same as your gender registered at birth?"

Yep, completed ours. We haven't been impacted by COVID in any way which would change our answers but I do find it odd that's there's NOTHING bearing that in mind. So the biggest pandemic in 100 years (or more if just talking about the UK) and that's deemed irrelevant as to where you work and how you commute etc.
Given it's only done every 10 years it seems like the data won't be particularly useful or reflective of the 'real world'; 100% of our employees are currently working at home, but they were all in on 5th January and will all be back as soon as able (29th March or 12th April, we're unsure). Maybe they'll just get all the data back, and given it's all online now decide to do another one in 2/3 years time.
I just hope it doesn't impact policy or invesments too much, like no longer investing in cycling to work because the data shows nobody does that anymore.

Way too many personal questions?
Can you give an example of what you mean?
None of the questions gave me pause for thought, maybe I had a truncated form.
Oh, and not for nothing, but it’s gist not jist.

Eh? Like what? And of course GDPR still applies.
The stuff in "post 81" isn't personal. It doesn't even qualify as sensitive personal information for GDPR.

Will I get in trouble if I slip in the odd silly answer?

Gender isn't registered at birth, sex is. The question is valid.
Don't think so if you keep it to the optional questions. Jedi, Attack Helicopter, etcWill I get in trouble if I slip in the odd silly answer?

When I was born in the sixties gender meant the same thing as sex
