And he warned those who owed £2,000 or more in back tax they would have just over three months to repay it in full.
Nice one, so they fk up, refuse to apologise, then give people a short deadline to pay back the money after their cockup, which alot of people will struggle with. t

As a previous poster has said, a mass boycott of payments would be epic. Shame being British means such direct action would never happen.
The PAYE system means you can't boycott. Its taken out before you even get to see your money.As a previous poster has said, a mass boycott of payments would be epic. Shame being British means such direct action would never happen.

s collect from those of us on self-assessment. You owe us this, pay up by this date, much love.In part I agree with him that the HMRC has done nothing wrong. The main issue lies with the PAYE system itself. It's antiquated and not up to the job of dealing with people who change employment frequently or have multiple jobs. It's up to the politicians to change that and not the civil servants.
It as always been the case that the onus is on the individual to check their codeing notice and to inform HMRC if they believe it's wrong and to advise them of any additional income or change in circumstances.

Didn't the original report say most of the errors were due to employers providing the wrong information and that the new HMRC computer system can now recognise those discrepancies?
If so then presumably the errors have gone unchecked in previous years but are now being addressed.

He's a , an overpaid and useless and he heads the most inept and uncontrolled fiasco in the UK, his offices are so inefficient that it takes them 13 weeks to open a letter, mistakes they make can take years to rectify, lives have been, are and will continue to be ruined by his and his staffs disgusting indifference to the public. We badly need some kind of control over the whole shooting match.

There is an element of that, happens every year, just not as much as this. The new IR computer system is far better at cross referencing a lot more data, so is supposedly reducing the error level. Trouble is, that highlights all sorts of errors, mainly wrong tax codes, which the IR seem unable to get right for all sorts of reasons. The IR blame the customers, the customers blame the IR for their appalling customer service. Degenerating into a finger pointing fIf so then presumably the errors have gone unchecked in previous years but are now being addressed.
