No Roger, It's not your tax money; it's somebody else's money the Inland Revenue didn't collect.

Besides squandered is squandered right? - who cares whether it's EDS or central govt. that squanders it!!

I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if EDS signed a contract that made them liable for loss of income incurred as a consequence of using their system, so I doubt IR has much of a leg to stand on. Presumably IR signed-off the spec and formally accepted the system as being fit for purpose after extensive testing?

...what? you don't think they might have skimped on testing in order to go live on time do you?!!!
