“According to HMRC’s own figures, the majority of this £2.27 billion – £1.6 billion – was due to error rather than fraud by claimants. I also find it deeply worrying that even after HMRC has taken action, one in five claims still contain error or fraud.”
Maybe some simplification of the whole system is called for.
