Taxed

The assertion from the HRMC that their on-line filing system is secure taxes my beliefs.

I enthusiastically signed up for this some years ago, but to my horror found that they emailed me with my unencrypted password. That is not a secure action because anyone with access to my email server or their email server will have access to read my email, and the password in there. Consequently I have not used their on line system and will refrain from using it until I know that it is secure. Today's news that VIPs are barred from using it does not reassure me.
