HMRC Demands 1p

 

A former tax adviser was sent a letter asking him to pay back a penny – despite the postage costing more than the amount he owed.

Javier Damaso received the automated notice – which contains incomplete computer-generated sections – after leaving his role at HMRC.

He was given 21 days to pay back the outstanding balance on his final salary after quitting his job in Glasgow to become a full-time carer.

The headline reads ‘overpayment of salary -£0.01’, with his former employers telling him they were ‘obliged to seek recovery of overpayments’. 

He sent HMRC a penny back in an envelope.

Tax does have to be taxing.
