77-year-old British expat Michael Johnson was chased by HMRC for seven years over unnecessary tax returns despite living in New Zealand since 2007. HMRC admitted the errors in the tax authority's records, which marked Johnson as self-employed, led to his pursuit for tax returns. Johnson was eventually offered £25 compensation after providing his New Zealand passport as proof of his citizenship and non-taxable status.
