Overall, there's something nice and reliable about the VAT systems and staff, I've never had any problems with them and they're usually very helpful whenever I have a query where they'll give me a definitive answer that's tacked onto my tax account notes. Maybe it's because we're essentially the tax collector for them...
Can't say the same for the rest of HMRC staff though!Comment
