HMRC shortcomings exposed

Today’s papers are full of criticisms of HMRC. Overstretched staff, calls unanswered, letters taking months to be acknowledged. The whole tax system appears to be falling apart. As someone who has to deal with HMRC on a daily basis none of this is much of a surprise. In fact it’s great that it’s now public knowledge! Let’s hope something starts getting done about it. All’s not lost though. A good accountant can take away all the strain of dealing with HMRC away!
