Their own complaints procedure is in house and is inherently biased towards their own bonus schemes.<BR/><BR/>Remember - you get it wrong its your fault, HMRC get it wrong its your fault. <BR/><BR/>Toodle Pip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-9003041167871771042009-01-28T15:40:00.000+00:002009-01-28T15:40:00.000+00:00Surely YES!!!

HMRC is in complete disarray and instead of admitting that it has got things wrong it carries on regardless due to institutional arrogance and the 360-degree blinkers that ExCom members are wearing. <BR/><BR/>An excellent post from Stop Hitting Me Officer... please keep the criticism coming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-39229593597248763542009-01-28T14:12:00.000+00:002009-01-28T14:12:00.000+00:00Oh surely not?I'm almost tempted to say that I'd b...Oh surely not?<BR/><BR/>I'm almost tempted to say that I'd be quite prepared to put up with the crap inrastructure, dodgy leadership and pure, raw, incompetence if only they'd change that bloody institutional arrogance.<BR/><BR/>The whole department behaves as though every taxpayer is a toothless crone dressed in sackcloth and trying to hide a squealing pig or six bushels of straw from them. It's been my experience over a number of lifetimes that the attitude hasn't changed one iota since the first tax collector kicked down the first barn door and started digging in with an over-sized, Baron-supplied, shovel.<BR/><BR/>The Revenoo is like the NHS, I don't really expect it to be a lean, green, mean, healing or collecting machine - but neither should they be allowed to treat taxpayers as though they are peasantry.<BR/><BR/>Every change made to the IR has been to do with dumbing down and nothing to do with the introduction of common sense or genuine service.<BR/><BR/>Snazzy politically correct but utterly useless scripts read over an internet phone connection on an 0845 number without reference to the needs of the caller <I>do not</I> constitute "service".<BR/><BR/>p.s., I'm just a bit miffed because, having started to "register" on the IR website on the 3rd of January (and tried three times since, called "helpdesks" six times since and contacted "online help" on eight occasions) it's now the 28th and I still haven't been "allowed" access. The fine, the delicate little school-leaverish voice told me, is automatic and they can't do anything about it.<BR/><BR/>Reaches into the cutlery drawer for his Fawkes ...Stop Hitting Me Officerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521889230862558456noreply@blogger.com
