Lost self-assessment returns
With reference to the item in 'Loose Ends', Taxation, 9 May 2002 at page 163 concerning instances of the Revenue losing tax returns between the logging and processing stages, an alarming number of 2000-01 returns (all submitted on different occasions by hand) have gone missing in the Suffolk and North Essex area. The problem has been reported by my firm, but no explanation has been forthcoming.

In several instances, some returns in the batches handed in have been logged, but some have not. This means that the unlogged returns are untraceable and, as far as the Revenue is concerned, never received. The latest initiative by the Revenue to write to all taxpayers where they have logged, but not processed, returns means that the untraceable ones are not picked up unless one keeps track of them (and we do).
