Tax

Every year since I stopped being a student I have regarded a letter from Inland Revenue with ABSOLUTE TERROR. I've got nothing to hide, but you know, it is the same feeling as when the cops pull you over and even though you've got a new WOF and reg, and were driving bang on 50km, you feel the fear.

Today a letter from IRD arrived. I filed it on my large pile of magazines, kids books, old bills, crayon drawings, books - you know, the important stuff file. And just now I thought, ah fuckit, lets see what the online service is like.

Bless! It took 2 minutes, and now I've done my return - months early.

The fact that my income was zero didn't do any harm.
