A report by the National Audit Office states that HMRC still has a backlog of 18.2million income tax cases where there is potentially underpaid or overpaid tax.  This means taxpayers may have paid £3bn more than they should have.

HMRC blamed the backlog on the effects of the recession which means that while the value of taxes due to be collected has increased, it has come under pressure to achieve cost savings by streamlining its operations.
