It took nearly 18 months for me to obtain an application form under the new system and from early Dec 2004 until last week to process the application as it was stuck in the system! We were incidentally receiving child tax credit under the old system.

The Inland Rev were as helpful as they could be but agreed with me when I mentioned that the old system worked and the new one didn't.

The old addage of "If it isn't broken, then don't fix" it springs to mind.
I have always found the IR whether on personal taxation or company affairs very helpful and very good at explaining things if you can be bothered to ask them.

As for politicians....they should keep their noses out of these tried and tested mechanisms and concentrate on something they are good at. Ah yes that would be kissing babies and lying to the electorate!
