I found the same, when I left local government, I found that I was working at the same rate in the private sector and had finished my work in about two days each week while all of my colleagues were complaining about their workload being to high. I just kept my head down and enjoyed taking the bigger pay packet for doing about half the work I was doing in the public sector.
It is not only WHAT they do, it is the temerity to do it in the first place and the sheer lack of any compunction or guilt about it. They **** in the public nest and then rub the public's nose in it when they get caught. Arrogant lying Tory ponces.
For me the worst part of rubbing our noses in it is that they actually believe it will all be all ok’d if they come out with the standard “ it was just a mistake” “ it was just a slight oversight” remarks. Does the local plumber or butcher get away with any discrepancy on their returns by claiming “ an innocent mistake”
When Darlington chairman George Reynolds was stopped by police and found to have £500k cash in his car boot he went to jail for 3 years for tax evasion. These bastards are taken for an expensive lunch to the Ivy restaurant by HMRC and agree to pay a pittance to "move on" and "draw a line under the matter". The bloke was Chancellor for God's sake and in charge of all taxpayers money.
I’m sure an ex tax man once revealed that when it comes to the very rich , their targets are not based on numbers caught or amount recovered , but by the success of “ deals” made in order to get the case closed and filed awsy
The only deal should be , here is your tax bill, pay it in full today or go to jail, then we will take assets to the value of your tax debt.
