Tut-tut, HMRC staff

Caught in the act! More than 600 staff at the taxman have been disciplined for accessing personal or sensitive data, Jane Kennedy, the minister in charge of the department, has said....

Disciplined means, in many cases, being sacked- ouch. TS is genuinely shocked. Somehow TS had this funny idea that if you were a tax official, you could spend the day merrily downloading people's tax returns for fun.

Want to know how much your boss owns? It's only a click away. after this revelation, some of the romance of working for HMRC has now disappeared.

But surely Dave Hartnett can access anyone's return, we asked the department. He's always cracking jokes about TS's complex tax schemes every time we go in. 'It applies to everyone,' a spokesman says.

'[The returns] are not there for your personal voyeuristic enjoyment,' he adds. It begs the question of which twisted individuals would actually derive any pleasure from reading tax  returns.

It chills TS to the very core just thinking about it…
