New HMRC tax bungle

BBC Radio 4's Money Box
Saturday, 26 March 2011 at 1204 GMT On Radio 4 and Online
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is to demand hundreds of pounds in uncollected tax from more than 140,000 pensioners.
HMRC failed to take account of the state pension when it sent out tax codes to people who first drew their pension this year.
It made exactly the same mistake in the two previous tax years, and the government announced in January it would cancel those bills.
