HMRC fines for errors

[SueEllen]

Swift and correct action.

While it was the latter it definitely was not the former.


And Gove got shafted on air.

Rishi Sunak has sacked the Conservative party chair, Nadhim Zahawi, after he was found to have breached the ministerial code over his tax affairs.

The former chancellor has faced extensive questions in parliament and the media after it emerged he agreed to pay millions to HMRC following a settlement with the tax department.

In a letter to the Tory party chair, Sunak said the ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, had concluded there was a “serious breach” of the ministerial code. “As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty’s Government,” he said.

Pretty stupid thing to not disclose that type on information when you are appointed to the most senior financial post in the country. He must have known it was the wrong thing to do so he's gone. Swift and correct action.

I thought he was in a safe seat? The rest of them are trying for their post parliament jobs.

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

I dear I forgot I had a few million.

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

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

(Hint: things didn't end well.)

Check out the word "Sedition" <-- this single word kept the colonies in check for years!

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

Weren't said taxes on poles?

Makes all sorts of people irritated when they tax poles.

Makes the telephone lines all droopy.

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

Nope

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

This was tested in the Courts a while ago.

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 ?
