The Government believes it owns ALL the wealth I generate and I get to use whatever the Government's whim dictates.<br /><br />My view is that if I have done something wrong then take me to Court and if the judge finds me guilty then so be it.<br /><br />The latest almighty cock up re Venture Capital Trusts is the latest in a long line of cock ups, including shed loads of lost personal data, which proves that HMRC is not fit for purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-82320728549858828972014-05-09T10:40:57.655+01:002014-05-09T10:40:57.655+01:00One of their problems is their level of service an...One of their problems is their level of service and their own view of themselves. I had a run in with some years ago over a comparatively measly £1500 pounds. They lost virtually all the originals I sent them (which was my fault apparently) and put my enquiry phone calls on a repeated three week service level queue. When I pointed out that this wasn't acceptable, I was met with the response of"it's not a case of what you think is acceptable"<br /><br />I know I'm not alone. Having once overhearing a business owner discussing their dealings with HMRC, he explained how they had once told him that they weren't like a normal business in that they didn't see themselves as being bound by the usually accepted ways of responding to those they had dealings with. Roughly translated that sounded like we do what we bloody like and you have to live with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
