Phew! Just finished our tax returns. The bloomin I.R. web site has been playing up all weekend, it's taken ages to get the returns accepted with the online service. All done for another year. We can get on with catching up with all the things we've put to one side now.

Did ours last week, and for the first time ever gave thanks for slf-assessment, even though we earn peanuts these days. Fingers crossed, but I've clawed back over a grand for t'other half, and wiped out my arrears completely. Shame the interest only works in one direction, though

Self Assessment- Tax doesn't have to be taxing When tax is causing you problems, you know you're earning too much

Not quite, if you work for only a few months out of a year you end up paying too much tax. I filed my return last July I think, amazing how quick you can get it in when you are owed money.

Agree Gervase, if only the IR paid interest.

I managed to get 6pence interest from them for the 2002/03 year.

Still not sure what I should spend it on..

Hardly causes you problems, financially, though, when you are owed

That's always a good feeling. Shame you can't just opt out, when you're filling in all the forms & you know it's only going to be to get a few quid back- I'd let them have it to avoid the paper trail- doesn't quite work like that though
