HMRC fines for errors

[Bheleu]

There has been a a great deal of talk about how a certain Tory chairman has had to pay a large fine for an error
Q. When HMRC gets things wrong and tried to hit somebody with a large IR35 bill and the loose, do HMRC have to pay anything for making a mistake ?

[SueEllen]

Nope

HMRC don't own a duty of care to tax payers.

This was tested in the Courts a while ago.

HMRC don't do compensation payments if that is what you are after. They don't care if your feelings are hurt.

Perhaps we need another Peasant's Revolt ? That last one resulted in the deaths of the Lord chancellor and Lord High Treasurer, something to do with high taxes

Weren't said taxes on poles?

Makes all sorts of people irritated when they tax poles.

Makes the telephone lines all droopy.

Sedition and seditious libel was abolished as an offence (unless you're a forriner) in 2009 as part of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009

You could follow Andrew Griffith around shouting and assaulting him if you want.

GBNews quoted as total paid (including 30% fines) = £5m

I dear I forgot I had a few million.
