Been on PAYE for the past 1/4 century but ended up having to submit a tax return for 5 years on the back of that, share dividends now in shares not cash!

In defence of my former department, unfortunately because everything has been moved to call centres all the call handling staff work to scripts and prompts, so it's not difficult to see why they can't deal with it like the old face to face relationship at a local office.
But someone decided to close all the local offices and centralise everything, so that's progress I'm afraid
