You're still a cretin, and nothing can ever purge that.

That includes paying tax credits etc. I think.

Looks quite clear & informative to me, in general terms at least.

Unbelievable that HMR&C spends over £12 B, which is almost half the NHS budget of c £28 B !

Move to Somalia. No taxes there so I hear - provided you have a big enough gun.
Should suit your half-baked "libertarian" ideas.

"Libertarian" - one who believes in free will, freedom of thought and expression, minimizing the role of the State and maximising individual rights and responsibilities.

I think that's the first time I've had a compliment from you - thanks

Of course they spend a lot; the tax system is now so complicated they need lots of people and systems to administer it.

It seems as though the Government, in the spirit of transparency, have forked out for a new system which explains where all the money goes GIST - OSCAR - Quarter 1 2012-13
