The taxman could soon be getting his hands on all our hard earned gross pay. Her majesty's revenue and customs has warned that it will be requiring details of gross pay to be sent directly by employers to a central computer.
The taxman would then deduct national insurance, income tax and any student loan repayments before putting the remaining money into our bank accounts.
This news should make us all feel extremely worried considering recent foul ups by the taxman. Millions of people are already fighting with the revenue and customs over errors from a computer glitch that has meant people having to make payments for miscalculated tax errors spanning over two years.
This is yet another example of the big brother state tightening its grip over British citizens. Hopefully sense will be restored when someone eventually questions the Taxman about what happens when inevitably the new computer system, database etc crashes etc. Imagine the worst case scenario, millions of workers not getting paid. Therefore bills, direct debits not getting paid, changes for being overdrawn could lead to financial meltdown.
Or imagine firebrand trade union leaders of present provoking the workers of Revenue and customs to go on strike, with no one getting paid because of a potential strike, they would be able to achieve total dominance over the government who would have to kow tow to their every demand.
lets just hope that this new idea just turns out to be a fantasy of an overzealous jobs worth
