More Generousity From HMRC

Taxpayers are being warned they will be fined if they submit their self-assessment returns late, even though the deadline day for returns falls on a Sunday.

HMRC lodged 43% of all creditor-petitions seeking to wind up companies to recover debts in the past six months, according to accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young.

HMRC are using anti-terror laws 15 times a day to investigate suspected minor breaches of tax rules.

HOWEVER

44m  phone queries to HMRC went unanswered in 2008/09!!!

 Says it all really.
