<<Officials said services were already suffering with a drive to axe 25,000 jobs and close more than 200 offices, leading to backlogs of post and claims that the department can only chase up those who owe £20,000 or more in tax due to a lack of resources. >>

This makes you think of the cost per worker / money recovered ratio at HMRC. If it's not financially viable to chase people for less than £20,000 then it must be the most inefficient organisation on the planet. What a complete shambles.

If they simplified the Tax system, they could probably get rid of most of them.

I wonder what the annual budget of HMRC is? I bet it's a lot more than all the money that is lost each year through avoidance (and evasion).

Since most tax is collected via PAYE, and everyone else does their own assessment, it makes you wonder what the point of HMRC is.

Wish him Merry Christmas from me and I'll be raising a glass to the 3400 jobs lost at Revenue & Customs.

Dont worry Mr YouKnowWho TM . You can camp in a cardboard box on my doorstep and if you get cold, you can warm your hands through my letterbox

P.S. Very good news on the General thread with regards to human rights. You see! Europe can overturn illegal UK legislation:
