My father was a blue collar worker who left school at 14 with only a basic education, but he understood how personal taxes and NIC worked, and on a few occasions when he had to complete the old style Tax Return he got it right.
This should be the case today, and it isn't.
This is why so may taxpayers are frustrated and the reason why there are so may calls to HMRC.
It's a dreadful state of affairs, and it certainly looks as if the useless Office of Tax Simplification is a worthy successor to the Circumlocution Office from Little Dorrit's day.
