Tax Return

I needn't say anything!

 

Tax Return <shudder>.

Me and my mate did a stint of running our own business. I nearly had a heart attack when I did my tax return on line, and it came back saying I owed £26000, as opposed to the £40 odd I'd worked out (based on us not having made much that tax year, and having reinvested almost all of the little we had made). Fortunately I managed to get hold of someone at the tax office unusually quickly, and over the phone we went through the form. Turns out I'd missed off some figure from my P60 from work (I was also employed at the time). I put that figure in and the the amount owed dropped to somewhere near £40 as I'd expected, but for about an hour I was literally on the verge of cracking up.

 

I'm sure the tax office enjoy putting fear into us Clueless. I wonder if a poll was taken whether they'd come out top of a scaremonger list.
