Tax Fiasco

[Mart61]

Hi guys

Just wondered if any of you had fallen foul of the tax errors?

- anyone owe HMRC?
- does the HMRC owe you?

Thus far I've not had a letter and can see no reason why I should. However I'll breath easier once it's sorted.

Well as far as I can see they owe me £543 pounds from tax year 09-10. Spoke to them the other day and was told that they have no record of me ever working at the company:ack2:...

So copy of my P60 in the post and see what happerns.:boxing_smiley:

I think it's a bit rich of them to demand payment within one years tax window. Some people have more than 1 job to make ends meet and it seems that this is where it all went Pete Tong for the majority. They should be a bit more understanding and give people time to pay it back. People shouldn't be able to avoid it as they have had the benefit but to just demand payment like they have is a tad much when it's their mistake.

Good luck getting your money back Mike.

I think its fantastic!

The thieving scum that run this country have finally resorted to deploying the tactics of a bunch of Nigerian scammers. Send out millions of letters and hope to find a few mugs that pay up without question.

Much like the lads from Lagos they'll be getting f**k all out of me!

Media stirring it again!

Without seeing individual results it's all speculation as to whether the folk that owe should have known, whether the bigger sums really will relate to folk who have money problems or not etc.

At the end of the day if folk owe legitimate monies then I don't see why my taxes should go up to bail them out. I reckon I'm personally supporting several families with my dues as it is!

Heck I pay an accountant enough to get mine right and still had a final demand for 1p underpayment last year and a rebate of 1p on my wife's tax. 2 pointless letters when I'd paid both of them together with a single cheque!!

Nothin unusual here, I see cockups like this every week.

The phrase you want is...

To Err is human, F**cking it up completely requires a computer.

The timing is interesting though, when the nation is struggling to balance a budget they come out with this, and the net result is they'll be gaining money not giving it back, makes me wonder if they're trying to pull a fast one, inflating whats owed a little bit to see if anyone will fall for it, dont tell me they're above that.

I think they will only contact you by letter not email or phone

I would double check who you have just given your bank details to :ack2:
