| HMRC – National Audit Office Figures (posted:22-7-08) |
|
It has just been released that for tax year 2006/07 the Tax Office made 3.6 million mistakes on Self Assessments and 2.8 million on PAYE, with individuals overpaying tax by £157 million as a result of the errors. Many of the overpaid tax cases relate to pensioners whose age allowance had been missed as the Revenue did not get the paperwork in order once a worker reached retirement age.

| HMRC Announce Proposed New Time Limits (posted:22-7-08) |
|
Schedule 39 of the 2008 Finance Bill is proposing to shorten the current six year time limit for back tax refunds to four years. A recent survey confirmed that 44% of all claims for refunds do go back six years. In most of the cases, HMRC was aware that tax was probably overpaid. The average claim is £1963 for the six year period. This is yet another erosion of tax payer’s rights and is simply another stealth tax.
