What could the letters HMRC stand for?

by admin — Categories: Accountant Jokes — Tags: , , , , Comments Off

In the UK we recognise ‘HMRC’ as standing for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs – the body created by the merger of Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise in 2005.

What else might the letters represent?  Officially the answers are:

  • Health Management Research Center (University of Michigan) 
  • Human Mobility Research Centre (Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital partnership; Ontario, Canada) 
  • Helicopter Multi-Role Computer 
  • Hierarchical Maximal Ratio Combining 
  • His Majesty’s Royal Communications (Jordan)

But let’s be more inventive:

  • Help Me Recover Cash
  • How Might Rhianna Cover-up?
  • Hold My Rubber Chicken

I fear I could go on for a while but instead let me invite others to suggest their own. Give it a go. Could be fun.

And you thought ICAEW was focused on accountancy….

This sign in the Gents at One Moorgate Place (Chartered Accountants Hall) always amuses me.  It seems to suggest that the ICAEW is ‘bringing you energy efficient hand drying’.

Four tax advisers were bewailing the deterioration in the relationship between the tax authorities and taxpayers.
