Does this just happen to me?
I'm kind of used to getting letters from the Inland Revenue telling me I owe them money but they seem to have upped the ante of late
Over the last few weeks I've had 3 demands for payments I have already paid or do not owe, including one from those lovely people at the VAT
threatening me with the bailiffs. I've paid all my VAT and PAYE to date but, through their bungling incompetence, they seem to have
no record of my payments so I have to spend a fortune on phone calls from Spain to my bank to get all the necessary info to put myself in the clear (online statements only go back 1 month with Barclays).
In fact, I've already done this twice now regarding just one VAT payment. As well as a PAYE demand I've also had one demanding corporation tax that I paid in January - it's driving me nuts
The cynic in me says that it's not incompetence at all, more like they purposely making everything as awkward as possible
in order to dissuade people from running their own companies
