Hundreds of thousands of people have been wrongly told they have a tax records gap that may cut their pension.


The error was caused by a glitch in the Revenue and Customs' tax system used by the UK's largest employers.
A Revenue spokesman said it did not know how many of the 4.7m notices suggesting people pay £371 had been sent out in error.
Payroll expert Karen Thomson says the total affected could be 700,000, including many teachers and nurses.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme she said: "On average the Revenue produces four million of these notices a year.
"They have confirmed to us that this year 4.7m will go out to the end of January, so the difference, 700,000 notices, could be incorrect."

AND THE GOVERNMENT WANT THE NHS TO HAVE A NATIONAL DATABASE OF PATIENT RECORDS.....................ERROR,ERROR,
