Got my second letter yesterday threatening me with court proceedings, of course I usually ignore these things and pass them off to the accountant but the good lady got one in the post and everyone in her work got one as well.

Any idea of the contents of the letter?
Do you work for a more "elaborate" payment structure or just a std Lrd. -
Got any foreign accounts you haven't been declaring the interest on?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Originally posted by stupid-newspaperletters were sent out warning that evidence of tax avoidance had been *discovered. HMRC says it is considering a number of criminal prosecutions in the sector
Also, government invested an additional £900m in HMRC which yields a £600m return. Brilliant!
Perhaps if HMRC didn't let folks like Vodafone off a billion in tax .... oh FFS I can't even be arsed to rant.Comment

I got one from the Council regarding the single occupancy 'discount'. More than one actually, they send me one every 3 or 4 weeks and I've had 4 or 5 now. I've replied by email, telephone and by letter. They threaten to remove my discount if I don't reply with 2 weeks each time, claiming there are other people living with me. Odd letters they are too, as if written by a bunch of con artists. In their last letter they invented a non-Anglo Saxon name and also sent a letter to him or her at my address. I've replied telling them not to keep threatening me, inventing names and that if I receive another will complain to the Local Government Ombudsman, for all the good that's likely to do. They seem to be the law unto themselves. What's annoying is that's it takes little effort on their part, it's all automatic, whereas I have to spend time on replies. I'll see if I can get them to expend some time and effort too.Comment
