I found out something wonderful about England, it was even worth writing a post about it. Back at home in Canada we have to fill out these horrendous forms after waiting ages to get all the T-? papers from previous jobs, banks etc. These forms come in a manner of colours and variations depending on what kind of life status you currently live. There are more forms for some and less for other, it pretty much equates to matching line numbers and filling out the amount making sure your math is correct and then sending it off to the Tax Man. After the tax man receives it you have two letters sent to you the run down on all the income you have filed on your forms followed up by a cheque or a bill for outstanding balance months later when you have forgotten about it.
Most people take it to an accountant in hopes to get more money, or they take it to a place call H&R Block which will charge you a fee ($30-60) for filling them for you on their slick program and give you your refund right then and there.
Instead of going through all that hassle, I just received a cheque for £292.00 from HM Revenue & Customs. I really like the fact that I only had to fill out one piece of paper work when I started and they do my taxes for me. I am sure I am just being nieve and there is a pile of paper work somewhere waiting to be done by somebody. At least I don't have to. Now what should I buy with this money?
