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.
