Reform UK suggests £30 tax cut for HMRC phone waits over 30 minutes

Reform UK suggests £30 tax cut for HMRC phone waits over 30 minutes

Under a Reform UK government, individuals on hold with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) by phone for over 30 minutes would see their tax bill reduced by £30.

To avoid exploitation, this tax benefit could only be claimed twice per fiscal year.
