Taxes and things

Watched the inauguration. Nice speech. Left me very hopeful. What was that bloke doing though - fluffing his lines?? Obama knew exactly what he had to say but that muppet who was reading it out to him completely bolloxed it.

Taxes. Here in the UK we generally don't have to worry. We have something called PAYE (pay as you earn). If you are employed by someone then they deduct tax each payday according to a code provided by the Inland Revenue and you never have to bother. If you're self-employed though - whole different kettle of fish. I think it's a lot like things are in the USA. You have to register for tax and then fill out all the appropriate forms providing income and expenditure details. Then pay the assessed tax in a lump sum.

You can do this the old fashioned way by hand-filling forms & posting them. The cut-off date for this is the end of September. Or you can be nice and modern and do the necessary paperwork online. Cut-off date January 31st. File after that and you get fined. You have to register on the Inland Revenue site and they will send you your PIN. Not PIN number if you please - PIN stands for Personal Identification Number so that would be number number!! That's worse than HIV virus (Human Immunodeficiancy Virus virus). It takes 7 days to get your PIN.

I'm self-employed. Guess when I registered. Yep. Today. What do you reckon?? Think I can get it done in time?? *g* I'll keep you posted...
