Self-assessment my arse

Tim, happened to me too. I wrote to salaries and wages asking for a copy and they sent me the details a day later (request had to be in writing). As we work for the same type of organisation it should be the same for you.

Isn't it legitimate to put in provisional figures on your tax return explaining that they are, and why they are, provisional? You should then avoid the £100 fine, although you will incure interest/fines if you are subsequently deemed to owe the Revenue. You should be able to work backwards from what you 'know' you earned to get some sensible figures - especially if you have 'some' payslips to hand. Your employer as at 5 April 2003 should be able to supply the definitive numbers and the Revenue should have them on-file too.

IIRC you're a civil servant - so you're responsible for all this bureaucracy and offical paper and red tape!!

Never mind chaps you'll have yer "Freedom of Information Act", in motion soon then the Big Conversation can get even bigger, so long as you've paid your Council tax that is ?

To be fair the P60 does mostly consist of a large warning about how its really important, difficult to get hold of a duplicate and is requried to fill in your Tax Return. As with the P11D (the benfits one).

I've done mine and they owe me £42 (Hurrah!) and I am considering sending them a letter threatening to charge them £100 if they don't get it to me sharpish.


Annoyingly though I haven't submitted it yet as the software I use (TaxCalc) no longer allows you to do onloine submissions via the free version. Having to pay TaxCalc £20 to get my £42 seems unfair.

Matthew

Welcome to my world chaps, welcome to my world.

I thought that the deadline for online submissions was 31/12....I could be mistaken, I always file by paper for all my clients.

Matthew -

Are you suggesting I should actually read what it says on Government forms? You sound like my Mum.

Any how in May last year I was an underpaid stoker in the engine rooms of spin, with no way of knowing I would ascend into the realms of my current tax bracket.

AG - says 31.1 here...

Tim

Tim - it just goes to show that I have no idea what I am doing

<Jaw drops at idea of public servants in the higher tax bracket>

We Evil Capitalists don't generate all that Tax Revenue so it can be squandered on Healthcare you know...

Tim


Does anyone have any bright ideas about how one could find out the amount of income you earned during 02/03 and how much PAYE tax you paid on it?

Send your Tax Return in before Friday with the employment pages ticked. Send a blank employment page in with the Return.

The Revenue will then return the incomplete Return to you and then must give you a further 14 days to obtain the information. In the meantime obtain the figures from your employer. If you cannot find the figures then keep returning the Retunr to the Inland Revenue without any figures on it stating you have lost the details.

The Revenue will eventually give up returning it to you and enter the figures themselves. They already hold the figures you need on file. The whole sistem is a joke but it works.

By the way doesn't the statement "YOU WILL NEED IT IF YOU NEED TO COMPLETE A TAX RETURN" on your P60 indicate something to you?

I did not think that Tim was involved providing healthcare but was more in the line of harrassing the poor sods that are in the line of providing health care by dumping information on them <g>

You are clearly Very Great. If I ever become Head of Everything, you will be in line for a gong.

Degsy -

I also do my bit in defending the 'poor sods' (as you put it) to the likes of the D Mail and trying to make sure the public continue to support the NHS's founding principles. it's a dirty job, but...

Tim

It's a dirty job.

I hate them too!

One thing I hate more than Tax Returns are the clients that leave it until 3 days before the deadline until they bring them in!

Why oh Why oh Why?

No advance on that one but I have just been given 5 years worth of Returns by someone who is a little behind!


Why do clients expect us to perform miracles?
