Last year, HMRC were overpaid to the tune of £1.1m – with employees paying back just £900,000.
Many of the people who benefited from these extra payments were staff who left the organisation but messages did not get through to payroll to halt their salary payments.
Yes, yes, large organisation, slips t’wixt cup and lip. But still…..
And they had to refund the tax paid as well. Bet that smarted!.
