In the UK if you have relatively straightforward tax affairs and already pay tax through PAYE (Pay As You Earn) you generally don't need to complete a tax return. But if you have more complicated tax affairs - or income from several sources - you may need to complete one.
Well, step one of my tax prep is done. That's the part where I do my take on the forms. Then, in step two, our accountant reviews them and falls on the floor, howling, and fills them out the way they're supposed to be done. (She's cute when she laughs.)
Yes, there is a similar ritual in germany and you remindend me to celebrate it :o) I also prefer to pay a specialist than to do it on my own - support your local dealer ;-)
What did Mr. Boring have to say about the line of income from the Festival Brand Instant Smelly Shit people? I hope you don't have to explain that in an audit...(knocking on wood)
As a po' college student (can't even afford the full spelling of 'poor'), I qualify for a lot of exemptions. Too bad I can't also qualify for cheaper gas.
Annual Video Blogging Week snuck up so quickly. Seems like I just took down my Video Blogging Tree a few months ago!
I know what you mean. I'll probably still have this intro on my videos a month from now.
Even though we got a refund, this was the first year that we couldn't take a deduction for student loan interest. Man, those things go on long after graduation.
Well even though Micro & I did a H&R BLock video we really used TurboTax. It took me a couple of hours online but it is great! We should have done a commerical for them! lol Doesn't it feel good to get a little back though! Micro will get his new leathers! ya!
The basic version of TurboTax didn't include a couple of the odd forms that I needed. Like I said, my taxes are a bit too screwed up for how little I make. But it is good to get some back for a change.
hmmmm...a writer? LOLOL--the traffic accident and comment about some poor bastard trying to make a video blog...I've wondered with some of the driving videos I've seen, especially when they are on a cell phone and looking at a GPS screen.
If the accident had been serious, or with any fatalities, I wouldn't have made the joke. The bakery delivery truck took the ramp to fast and turned on its side - no serious injuries. You'll notice, most of my driving takes at least start at a stop light, not at freeway speeds.
I assumed no one was hurt. I know you wouldn't make fun of that. I just looked at my comment and there is a LOLOL after the question as to whether you were a writer...I just want to make sure you didn't think I was laughing at that. You speak very concisely and just sound like writer.
Lol omg you have no idea how much I love you, look at that son of a bitch video blogging while driving lmao. And I am from Canada, and it is no different from you guys. Lol and I am also 15 years old therefore I obviously do not file taxes. I want to invest all my money in the stock market by the way. LOL
That's awesome! A tax agent called "Boring"! I wish I could use him he sounds great! PS: Our tax is same: file it every year. The only diff I can see is that our financial year runs from 1 July to 30 June every year, (in Australia!) We have to file by end October. PS costs me about $45 to fill my tank too, but I have a small car-40 litre tank.
Why would non-Americans need an explanation of what tax time is? Surely everyone in western society needs to prepare tax returns. At least Australians get from July 1st till October 31st to lodge our claims and hope for some money back. My question, is the financial year you are claiming Jan - Dec? Our financial year is July - June...
Sometimes we Americans just assume that everybody understands what we're talking about. I kind of figured there was a similar process in most every "western" country, but thought I'd check in on what the differences were. Yes, individuals file their taxes based on the calendar year, and April 15 is the deadline for the previous calendar year.
In the UK the majority of people don't have to fill out an annual tax return. Income is deducted at source through PAYE and your employer deals with the tax man and pays any rebates. If you are self employed or have income not deducted at source you will have to complete self assessment forms.
Similar to us, as we all get taxed through PAYE. However, filling out the tax return is our chance to claim for deductions and benefits to try and get ourselves a refund :)

Yes, there's diesel at the next pump over.
6.58 dollar/gallon? In US dollars or euros? (I almost typed guilder - been a while since I've been to Holland.)
kenrg 4 years ago
Diesel cars aren't very popular in the US are they?
Yes, US dollar/gallon, if I calculated correctly. It's 1.302 Euros/liter. Those good old guilders, sigh, I miss them so much...
