HMRC - incompetent, uncaring and they don’t even care who knows….

The revelations come just weeks after it emerged that at least 63% of those who had their child benefit stopped were in fact still living in the UK and had not emigrated, as inferred by incomplete Home Office data used in the crackdown.

I suspect not a wrist will even be slapped. Anyone remember Windrush and the Home Office? Similar story and outcome.

AWS goes down. Takes down UK Gov login gateway, including HMRC login. What kind of brain-dead idiot decided to base a key government gateway on an overseas cloud service ??

Any other UK business people and FOSS lovers seen the HMRC changes coming to how business taxes are filed?

> From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software. This means we'll be closing our web and paper-based systems for account filings on that date.

At a quick glance the lists of commercial software contains NO open source/libre options. Looks like a win for proprietary.

Please boost for visibility!
