This year I've had a few aggressive letters from HMRC accusing me of not paying my taxes when in fact I had paid the taxes on time. They have threatened to take me to court etc. for things I haven't done wrong. Now they realise THEIR mistake. This has hurt my feelings. Can I complain, can I get compensation?

You can complain all you like, but don't expect any compensation unless you can prove that their fault has cost you money.

how about a few gray hairs? stress? anger? hurt feelings? does that not count? why should our public "servants" get away causing their beloved taxpayers that?

Part and parcel of doing business old chap. Next time you have to post something to HMRC bang one out and seal the envelope with the remnants. That'll make you feel better.

Would you deny them the only pleasure they have in their miserable little existence?

I feel more for the 94 year old on Watchdog last night who was being hassled daily to repay £2500.

Surely this should be in light relief.

Specifically at the end of the joke thread?

Speak to one of those no win no fee injury lawyers. I'm sure they will give you more sympathy than me. Like someone has already said.. I have more sympathy for the 95 year old lady who was harrassed for £2500 by HMRC than anyone who has received such grievance than yourself. Sorry if I sound heartless, but I have little sympathy to offer, unless you can prove that you have lost money. I gained a few grey hairs and stress just by working for my client. I don't think I will be suing them for that.
