Should the taxpayer suffer for the last government's incompetence?

[Bobbisox]

will you be one of the 'unluckys' that owe the taxman?

I did this yesterdayAOG in CB

Some people have underpayed, some overpaid, so rebates will be due to some. They can't decide to favour one and not the other.

I don't think so, but you won't hear me complain if I should be one of the people who is due a rebate.

I don't understand this, staff pay is done by an external company in my case, and they use a software program to do the calculations, how is the HMRC involved in that process? is it that the software program is set up by their dept?

Gordon Brown personally handled your return, Dot, I'd often hear him expressing amazement in the pubs of Westminster afterward.

God help us if the recalculations to correct the errors are wrong.

I thought it was tax codes which were wrongly given?

Makes you wonder why more trained people dealing with tax rates and such didn't pick up on the differences sooner, or they did and it's taken so long for HMRC to work out what's gone wrong and fess up!

they messed up with my tax for this year.

i have been working for 4 yrs and somehow they changed my tax code to Emergency tax for 3 months lol

in the three productive hours these people at hmrc work on a good day when not otherwise engaged in meetings, health and safety courses and diversity training or on the sick it is not fair to expect them also to have knowlwedge and application regarding their job is it?

be fair on these downtrodden 'public servants' and let them get on with making at least one correct calculation....how big their gilt edged pension pot will be!

I wonder if the rebates will include the same interest charges as outstanding amounts presently attract ?

In these letters are they going to show us the figures and where they went wrong or just state. Dear xxxxx, You owe us £xxxxxxx. Please pay. Yours, The Tax Office. Then again we might get a rebate!
