To add insult to injury the HMRC are to being told that they must pay the full costs of the investigation of what has been termed the biggest lost property investigation ever in the UK.
The HMRC having already lost the discs containing the UK’s Benefits System CD’s the Metropolitan Police will aim to recoup it entire operational costs (said to be higher than an average murder case) even though they were unable to find any hint of the discs.
It still unclear who at the HMRC will finally carry the can for such a monumental disaster. Even though the cost maybe very high it will still be ‘us’ that finally carries the real costs!
