Gardian Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I must admit that I really don't understand how this revelation of the underpayment of £2bn by 1.5m people, can have come about.I've got a reasonable knowledge of how personal taxation works in the UK and really and truly, it's not all that complicated. For the majority of people, their tax affairs are entirely straightforward: personal allowance, some deductions from that maybe, and the resultant code supplied to their employer. PAYE takes care of the rest.At first, I couldn't understand how the Revenue wouldn't have noticed such a significant drop in 'income', but it appears that there was a (more or less) corresponding over taxing of even more people.In my working life, if there had been such a high level of inaccurate 'invoicing' of customers, there would have been hell to pay. The place would have been in turmoil. What on earth has been going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 the word INCOMPETENCE springs to mind; perhaps if they sacked a few to inspire the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
