Taken from the Guardian, an actual letter sent by the Inland Revenue:
Dear Mr Addison,
I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order. Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we, at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy; traditionally referred to such documents.
Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and**ant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin

I believe it's a massive computer system, meaning it can look at all files in one computer with the new system as opposed to contacting other offices?
well it will always have teething problems

going to London for HMRC for a stint would be cool, and would depend on how much savings you have and what you expect in your career
I have thought of "doing" London for a year and go back up, but I dunno, I do believe it's an extra 5k on top of the wages, but that is no way making the difference between my standard of living here in Scotland and living in London
too expensive for me, for my kind of living

i know, the sis job is tavelling the world as well but only a slight pay rise
think im gonna stick it out for a while longer, one thing is certain tho, not goin back to private sector

That bird at the top, Cathy Wilcher is moving back to the private sector, well of course it'll be at the top, so nothing to worry about for her really

as a central belt fellow scot i want some advice, should i be paying any money as a poker pro? i.e national insurance?
if you're a poker pro, are you worried about jobseekers allowance or the state pension?
you best contact yourlocal office to make voluntary NI contributions
its a job like anyother although better pay, but what if the tax man contacts me? just tell him the truth?
aye tell him the truth, you made yer money through gambling
it's hardly "better pay"........you get grand "payouts"
but yea pay voluntary N.I. if you were to become skint at 65 or whatever the age is by the time you get there, so you get full pension
how much will i owe them if i havent paid in about 10 years or so ? Also if i offer to pay NI won't they start snooping ?
what have they got to snoop? your gambling winnings?
I dunno what your NI payment would be after 10 years, I don't do N.I., after 10 years, it'll cheaper than you think, it's something like £100-£200 a year, that kind of figure, IF that
it'll be very cheap, if yer a good poker player
