HM REVENUE AND CUSTOMS



More Than Your Jobs Worth



Recently an MP has revealed that over 600 staff at HM Revenue and Customs have been disciplined for looking at taxpayers' personal histories without permmission or a proffessional reason. In 2005 238 people were disciplined, 180 in 2006 and 192 in 2007. Some employees only got reprimanded, but a large number were fired. The HMRC has a strict policy which forbidds staff from accessing customers records unless they have a legitimate business reason. How many more are doing this that we don't know about?

I think it's disgusting that we can't trust these people. Soon there will be no trust at all from the public and people will not be willing to give there personal details.
