Bouncy Bouncy



My thanks to a loyal reader who advises me that there may be a problem with HMRC bouncing some taxpayers' PAYE repayment cheques.

It seems, if this information is correct, that these cheques have been bounced because there was insufficient funds in the particular HMRC bank account on which they were drawn.

I would be grateful to receive more details about this eg; amounts involved, number of cheques bounced etc.

Thanks.

I assume that, if this is true, then it is most likely due to an administrative error (eg cheques being drawn on the wrong account) rather than a shortage of cash.

Tax does have to be taxing.

  7. Apparently there is a machine reading problem within the clearing system, so although HMRC are working on correcting the problem it is not at their end.

    Confused, you will be.
