money
Some RTI letters sent to employers in early August contained incorrect information about overpayments.

HMRC advises some RTI 201 letters were sent in error during early August

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are advising employers to ignore any RTI 201 letters that they may have received in August after admitting some were sent in error early in the month.

Some of the real time information (RTI) system letters contained incorrect information about over payments and HMRC have said that some were sent to employers and agents in error.

Any employer or agent who received one of these letters in August 2014 is advised to ignore it. If you want to check your tax position, you can do this on the Business Tax Dashboard, accessed via HMRC's online service at www.hmrc.gov.uk.

HMRC have apologised for any inconvenience caused.

CVS Group hit by cyber attack

CVS Group, which owns more than 450 veterinary practices in the UK, has been hit by a cyber attack.

In a statement, the group said the incident involved unauthorised external access to a limited number of its IT systems. As soon as the attack was discovered, the group took its IT systems temporarily offline, causing 'considerable operational disruption'.

It has warned that the security steps taken and ongoing plans to move its operational systems and IT infrastructure to the Cloud are likely to have an ongoing impact over a number of weeks.

Due to the risk that personal information was accessed, CVS has informed the Information Commissioner's Office. The company is working with third party consultants to investigate the incident.
