A £2.8, (£2800,000,000), billion farce over tax credits
When the political obituaries of Gordon Brown are written, the Kafkaesque system of tax credits that he introduced as chancellor will merit a chapter in itself. Today we report that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is preparing to write off £2.8 billion mistakenly overpaid in tax credits to more than 1.5m people. Worse, evidence obtained by some of those from whom HMRC is demanding repayment reveals a chaotic, error-strewn service, capable of enormous mistakes even when repeatedly provided with accurate information by claimants.
A system supposed to help those on low incomes has turned into a nightmare. A department that specialises in retrospective taxation and harassing the law-abiding cannot keep its own affairs in order. Last year HMRC lost two discs containing bank details and National Insurance numbers of every family in Britain claiming child benefit – 25m individuals. Paul Gray, its chairman, resigned but with a big pay-off and a pension pot of more than £2m.
