Hi Adrienne,
You are quite right. We should not have to pay yet more in stealth telephone taxes to sort out paying our excessive and ever increasing tax burden. As long as Brown is around though it is quite clear that we will continue to suffer an ongoing increased burden of Stealth Taxes ever magnifying! This seems to be his myopic approach to everything. He is the ultimate political meddler. Give with one hand and take away again by stealth with the other. He seems to be so arrogant and deluded that he believes that with his bamboozle and smoke and mirrors everyone will be fooled and not realise what he is up to. The man is clearly intoxicated with power to the exclusion of all reason. God help us all if he does become Prime Minster. I just hope Milliband will see the light and realise that he has to be stopped.
In the SayNoto0870 directory of alternative numbers there are some given for HMRC (Inland Revenue), but I have found that these do not work in contacting your tax office if you have queries about personal income tax. There is a solution to avoid having to pay the additional stealth telephone tax of calling their NGN numbers though. It can be found here:
