HMRC has confirmed that it does not use AI to write letters sent to taxpayers, and is proud to confirm that the above was written by a member of its human staff!
Tax does have to be taxing.

I used to regularly stagger back from the pub on a Friday afternoon pissed up.
ReplyDeleteThe letters I sent out (not many, granted) were far more coherent, professionally written and had Revenue Officer at the bottom.
Then I'd stagger back at 4pm and finish what I'd started.
Another consequence of the HMRC bullying culture? No excuses for them, but staff working on edge and with anxiety caused by colleagues' abuse are much more likely to make errors than if they felt at ease.

The lazy buggers at HMRC are scared of a day's graft - the taxpayer shouldn't have to fund their fecklessness. Scumbags.
DeleteDoes HMRC employ *any* competent people?
ReplyDeleteJust wait until they come knocking on your door?
DeleteThose HMRC thugs couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery. Sheepish, cowards
DeleteIf we sacked 90% of HMRC staff, would the country even notice any difference? Of course we wouldn't. So here's your P45, now f**k off down the job centre, losers!!
ReplyDeleteOf course nobody would notice if 90% of the people who collect the nation's revenue were sacked.
DeleteWhat an absurd notion.
Most of the nation's revenue is collected simply by the hard working businesss and people who generate the wealth and economic growth paying on time and in full.
DeleteAs an accountant I would have to say that less than 2% of clients have issues that prevent full compliance.
I agree with the above comment - approx. 75-90% could be sacked, whilst we would still see a steady flow of funds to the Exchequer. Panic not, most of them really are dispensable.
Get rid of 75-90% of HMRC staff and you can absolutely guarantee that "hard working businessess and people" will stop paying in full and on time.
DeleteWhy would they when they know they could get away with it.
Sack all of them. How they have treated loan charge victims is disgusting...how they sleep at night...evil psychopaths scum bags , filth
DeleteSure, I doubt if 1% of HMRC staff had any involvement with the loan charges but sack them all anyway.
DeleteThese people make me sick.
DeleteAll the incompetent ones - bit harsh singling one out as there are numerous of them - are no better than benefit scroungers
They are a bunch of mental clowns 🤡🤡
ReplyDeleteThe average IQ of HMRC staff is exceptionally low.
ReplyDeleteYou have absolutely no idea what the average IQ of HMRC staff is or how it compares to other organisations of similar size.
DeleteAll that money your Daddy spent on your private education and you still couldn't grasp the difference between avoidance and evasion.
Horrible place to work. Bullying horrendous.People in authority corner boys who did whatever it took to get promoted. No morals no respect for anyone. I sat in nerves for years until l left on sick. Wish l could turn clock back and walked away.You have to have worked here to understand.Hell on earth
ReplyDeleteThis stinks and I hope it backfires. Not exactly a heinous crime . He wasn't 'sorry' enough.
ReplyDeleteSay what you like about PCS Reps, they're not paid for what they do and they do it to fight for the staff. I know, because I was one. The Rep worked in the shit hole for thirty years with an unblemished record. Then he's just thrown in the gutter.
I hope they're proud of themselves
East Kilbride should be renamed East Germany from the 80's.

How can you be sacked for a "potential" offence? This is a pretty obvious case of an employer trying to pick a fight with a union.
DeleteHopefully PCS will sue HMRC into the Dark Ages.
But I'm not holding my breath.
Not hard to work out the problem: HMRC is a very badly managed failing organisation trying to make up for significant skilled staff reductions and general dumbing down with grand IT projects which never fully deliver
