"HMRC's permanent secretary Jim Harra said: "We have made an assumption for the purposes of our planning that the error and fraud rate in this scheme could be between 5% and 10%."
That's an incredible percentage of taxpayers money to 'assume' will be lost to 'error and fraud'...
Imagine the outcry if such a percentage was as high in an organisation such as for arguments sake the EU...
And what does this 'fraud' consist of?
All I can think of is claims from people or companies for a drop in income that wouldn't occur...
Or 'furloughing' people for monetary gain rather than necessity...
One hopes that a similar 'fraud' rate doesn't occur if some people take advantage of future government schemes for subsidised employment/training!
