UK: Taxman Wrongly Fines 10,000 Businesses
Tim Richardson writes on The Register:
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is once again in the firing line after leaked documents revealed a computer error led to 10,000 UK companies being fined incorrectly.
The fines of up to £400 were dished out during 2004/05 and concerned the completion of tax forms.
But documents leaked to Computer Weekly revealed that a "basic flaw in the design of automatic systems" led to the wrongful issue of penalty notices.
