Problems in 20 million tax records

摘要

Taxpayer computer records that contain discrepancies have soared from 2.5 million to 20 million in just over a decade, Computer Weekly has learned.rnThe record backlog of delays in clearing "open cases", as computer records with anomalies are called, means millions of taxpayers are not being notified promptly of extra tax payable or refunds due. An open case means the taxpayer record has not been reviewed to check details are correct and the right amount has been paid. Each open case means potentially that a taxpayer has paid the wrong amount of tax.
