Nearly six million people in the UK are to be told they have paid the wrong amount of tax, with some facing bills demanding up to £ 5 000 in extra payments.(16)Around 1. 4 million people will be told they owe an average of £ 1 400 because of errors in HM Revenue and Customs’ calculations of the Pay As You Earn(PAYE)tax system over the past two years. The errors were identified by a new computer system that found widespread underpayments by employers through the PAYE system, which total about £ 2 billion.(17)Employees who moved jobs or accepted company cars or cash benefits from their employer were the most likely to be caught by the new system. But 4. 3 million people are set to receive a rebate because they have paid too much. With a total overpayment of £1.8 billion, each could receive an average rebate of £418. The first 45 000 letters from HM Revenue and Customs(HMRC)are expected to arrive on doormats(门垫)on Tuesday.(18)Around 30 000 letters will alert taxpayers that they are due a rebate and 15 000 will inform them that they have underpaid and will have their tax code altered next year to retrieve the money. The problems arise because at the end of each year HMRC checks that the amounts deducted in tax and national insurance by employers using the PAYE system match up with the information held on their records.(19)The process of checking contributions was done manually on a case-by-case basis until last June when a new computerised system was introduced, which HMRC says should help reduce mistakes in the future.
16. For what reason did so many British people pay less tax?
17. Who were the most likely to be caught by the new tax system?
18. In what way will the underpaid money be retrieved?
19. How was the process of checking tax contributions done according to the passage?
选项
A、HM Revenue and Customs made errors in PAYE tax calculations.
B、They deliberately avoided paying the sum due to the authorities.
C、Most of them were underpaid by their employers.
D、They were charged extra money several years ago.
答案
A
解析
原因目的题。本题问的是为什么许多英国人少交了税。短文开头指出,由于在过去的两年里,英国税务海关总署的所得税预扣系统计算有误,大约有140万人平均欠税1 400英镑。
