From the deliberate time wasting premium rate phone call you have pay through the nose to sort out the shit they create to the boys at the top making the decisions to recoup money from the hard working hard up people of this country by whatever means even if they do ignore their own code of practice (COP26) without a care and even if they do break laws, they don't care its the results that matter to them. The people, the hard working business owners who work their fingers to the bone to survive this climate while these pathetic 9 til 5 office monkeys ruin lives without so much as a care or any conscience. The sad part is they don't care that they are seen by everyone as useless, inconpetant, inefficiant, moronic, law breaking, untrained idiots. They just carry on regardless, which tells us a lot about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-86638406158452613402013-07-27T22:17:34.843+01:002013-07-27T22:17:34.843+01:00HMRC is a dodgy department and an embarassment to ...HMRC is a dodgy department and an embarassment to this country.<br />They have continually broken the law with me and my situation, continually lied and tried to scare me into paying back tax credit that I don't even owe them.<br />Their actions disgust me Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-28824165176461833252011-12-08T18:48:10.612+00:002011-12-08T18:48:10.612+00:00@18:27

Vodaphone never owed £x billion or whatever in the first place. The problem was the defective CFC legislation which the EU is compelling Osborne to change. There was no point in the HMRC continuing its fight with Vodaphone because it would have lost big-time in the end.
