It's been many years since HMRC (the taxman) started to use the word 'customers' to refer to all types of taxpayers and tax credit claimants. Of course 'customers' normally get a choice as to where they shop so it's not the right word.
Here are 11 alternative, not too serious, descriptions. Do you have any other suggestions?- Slaves
- Victims
- Codees - Anyone who deals with the tax authorities has to have a code, so that's the common element.
- Punters
- Suckers
- Cash cows
- Mugs
- Muggles
- Prey
- Government financiers
- Lemons (as in "squeeze them until the pips squeak")
