HMRC in pension tax blunder.

Let my firm tender for HMRC functions, we'll implement a minimal tax and electronic payment system.

In other news..

HMRC are a hopeless system. Why isn't the SA302 something that I can't just request online? They have failed to get the services online for over six years now. Had it been my firm, it would have been migrated back in 2007. Put the control back in taxpayers hands

10 mins on their 0845 9000 444 number. 3 mins in menus, 8 mins in queues. No information during the queuing on expected wait time. at 25p per min, this cost me £2.50. Why is HMRC allowed to make money out of helplines?

Wish I had dialled in directly, 0161 931 9070 that would have skipped all the queues. Number retrieved from http://www.saynoto0870.com/numbersearch.php

Would have saved me the 3 mins listening to various anouncements about HMRC website, which of cause is only information, you can't do many functions like request an SA302..
