This is allow them to add the next year return/tax forms etc. Happens every year, not a big deal and nothing new
ReplyDeleteSeeing as it happens every year maybe HMRC should work out how to update the services without them being unavailable to the users for so long.
DeleteIt is not really a problem in the great scheme of things but is another reflection on the inability of HMRC to provide the services it is supposed to.
VAT will be a simple tax....like hell it is. The little boys and girls at the VAT office are fed up losing out VAT on hot food sold in retailers, so we now have the pasty tax. If we buy a pasty in a paper bag, or for that matter fresh bread we must pay standard rate VAT. If we buy similar goods in plastic packaging it is zero rated. So much for green credentials. However, whilst I was on the loo, I came to a tax avoidance solution. Sssh, don't tell Ozzy, he will really be pissed.
ReplyDelete“Thanks for calling HMRC help desk we are very busy right now all our advisors are on other call, we are sorry we can not deal with your call at the moment, thanks for calling good bye”
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL
The real granny tax, SA Penalties 2010/2011. Remember the concept of commercial retribution? Gone beyond that, now we have a new stealth tax courtesy of this shitty government and their even shittier civil servants.
ReplyDeleteAgent, I have submitted a return and appeal on paper. How long before it is processed?
HMRC, Mid May.
Agent, Can we request postponement by telephone.
HMRC, No.
Agent, How should I advise my client.
HMRC, Not our problem.
I have been keeping stats on security checks. Tax credits. If the client is somebody obviously british (smith, brown etc) questioning is at a minimum. Somebody of other ethnic extraction, with a foreign name, the questioning is pretty intensive. Is this racist abuse?
ReplyDeletePerhaps look at the stats on tax credit fraud........
DeleteInterestingly, the vast majority of internal HMRC fraud, as reported on our own intranet, seems to be commited by people with names other than Smith, Brown, etc.
Just sayin..............
