Yes, it's ridiculously bureaucratic, and organisations like the Low
Incomes Tax Reform Group have been trying to get it changed before it is
introduced. However I don't think the government has listened.
Mind you, the previous system was almost as bad. If you were claiming
tax credits you were supposed to tell them about changes in your income
as soon as they happened. If you're a self-employed small trader, that's
every day.
