Just started getting my State Pension, until now Ive been taking my private pension at a rate that doesnt attract any income tax. So by adding the State Pension I am now liable to tax. I had worked how much I would have to pay.
Well the tax man sent me a letter yesterday, unfortunately they had worked out a figure 50% higher than mine.....I double checked and triple checked and I was sure I was correct....So I phoned them this morning.
The tax adviser just wouldnt listen and kept telling their numbers were correct. I told them they werent listening to me and their numbers were wrong....they just wouldnt have it. So I thought what can I do when they wont listen to reason so I said goodbye and decided to try again hoping to get someone else.
I phoned again and this time they couldnt have been more different....Oh yes sir you are absolutely correct our numbers are wrong.....its because its the middle of the tax year.....I will correct that right away.....and they have...Ive checked
Where do they get people to work in HMRC who cant add up
