The MDU press release did not say £1000 a year for each taxpayer. That figure is only the best estimate of total liabilities over a number of coming years. I am not sure what period that figure does cover but it may well be 10 years or more. It is much higher than annual expenditure. The actual cost per taxpayer per year at present is around £40 a year, given £1.193bn spent in the latest year available (see above) and 30m taxpayers.
