Isn't the online tax and SORN service good

You know I think it's great that I can do my tax and sorn from the
safety of my office. No need to go outside and risk being mugged or
anything.

It almost makes the 170 quid road fund license on my gas-guzzler worth
paying. Almost.

And online income tax returns. Aren't they super? Especially the
calculator that lets you 'tune' the figures until they look 'right'
<nervous cough>. I'm really looking forward to mid-June when I've got
all of my pieces of paper together and have the joy of this again.

Odd how they can get IT that collects revenue to work efficiently yet
systems used in spending depts are piss poor.

 

Why's that odd? I'd invest in income before systems for paying bills
quickly if it was my money.

It is (partly) your money and should be redistributed to the points of need
efficiently rather than going into the pockets of EKS brought in to sort
out the various bottlenecks.

 

Oh, I don't deny that but if *I* was running a government department I'd
sort out my sources of income before my sources of expenditure.
