Tax demands in post after blunder

The first demands for unpaid tax following a Whitehall computer blunder were arriving at Londoners' doors today.

About 200,000 in the capital will be asked to pay an average £1,428 more next year. Errors crept into HM Revenue and Customs' new £140 million computer system.

Other people are owed rebates. Experts said some people may be able to challenge the demands using a rule called the A19 Extra-Statutory Concession.
