Your system of tax just totally confuses me :gah2:
Don't you just have PAYE (pay as you earn)?
All the colonials whinge when we talk to them about charges and returns. One aunt also get a health bill for drugs her insurance company decide not to pay for (again why agree to an op' but then not for the drugs needed during the operation or the after care?) around about now. By the end of the month we will hear if it was better than last year which means they will be able to visit us in the Fall.
My cousin got married on the last tax return, but how did she know it was going to be enough to pay for her dress?
Over here, your personal income is sorted each year on a tax code, based on wage and status, eg: single. As it turned out for No1 son last year he paid a small tax on his apprentice wage, but he has had every penny back (except National Insurance) since his accident. He goes back to work tomorrow
He will pay take on this months wage but it will all come back in April because he didn't earn enough physically in the last financial year.
Ironically his sick pay worked out the same as his wage once his tax was refunded each month, and when it started to look as if he wasn't gtting a refund, well, his company gave him holiday pay! That ran out in January. He has only been 'poor' during February, which is a short month, hence 'mummy' paid for the £108 for the bike new back tyre.
