MPs tell taxman to stop sending threatening letters

Updated

So tax doesn't have to be taxing eh Moira? I'm not so sure about that. I'm pretty certain that having to give up days of our spare time to complete a tax return, spend hours on the phone to query blatant mistakes, and be expected to fork out thousands of pounds at the end of the process is going to count as taxing in anyone's book. And to add insult to injury if you make any mistakes or encounter any delays there's a good chance you will receive a horrifying threat in the post from HMRC.

These letters threaten to auction off your property to pay your bill. Now they have been found to be wholly inappropriate and possibly illegal, and MPS have said they have to stop.
