ans Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I sent mine in mid June and got a cheque a couple of weeks ago for a lovely £1432. I'm spending it all on expensive women and cheap booze. Or the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahc Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I sent mine in in June, stil no cheqski Ditto - in fact I think I may have delivered it in May. Can I fine them £50 for not paying me back my own money? Call them. My refund 'slipped through the net' (their words) once. I asked what would happen if I didn't return my next one in time and claimed that excuse. Didn't go down too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manx-minx Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I emailed them today asking if I was getting a refund, they replied within the hour to say I'd be getting a £380 cheque on 11th October. Back of the net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 So that you'll fail to declare your considerable earnings as internet muse, and they can fine you even more when you're rumbled or grassed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 What I don't understand is every year the lickspittle waistrals in the Treasury with their truffles, monkey slaves and robotic sex toys, make me fill in this blooming unnecessary form so I can tell them what they already know. Meanwhile the Government, of whom the income tax department is a nominal part spend most of the year consulting with the public on every last minute detail of everything - whether to put stuff in the water, whether to take stuff out of the water, whether to have more taxi drivers or less taxi drivers, whether taxi drivers should be added to the water, my thoughts on retailing, broadcasting and whether some dog should die are sought. But at no time have I been asked if I want to fill out a pointless form on pain of a fine. Yet every year I am required to complete this stupid bureaucratic absurdity and every year it pisses me off more than almost anything they do even more than Tony Brown's tone of voice (you know how he always manages to sound like he's lying even when you know he is telling the truth); even more than Earnshaw! How hard can it be for them to consult with us on this issue anyway? They are sending us a form to complete, that we have to fill in or they'll fine us! All the bleeders need to do is add an extra question. I suggest "On a Scale of 1 to 10 how futile was the completion of this form, with one being very futile and ten being the Department of Tourism and Leisure."

smooks Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Remember! It's not too late to foil the perfidious ne'er-do-wells in the Tax Department despicable scheme to fund their Christmas Party. In case you haven't heard of their plot, it involves charging you £50 if you fail to complete a form that tells them information they already know. Tomorrow is the last day to get your form in. Being an organized chap, who doesn't like to leave everything to the last minute, I took my form in today. Whilst there I was staggered by the great lengths the Treasury boys and girls go to in their quest to inconvenience the public. Most organisations who were expecting large numbers of people to visit their offices to drop off a form (especially if it is a totally unnecessary form and you are planning to fine them if they don't hand it in) would make it as easy as possible for them. But no, that would mean one of the lazy malingering gits would have to set aside the caviar, cocaine and rent boys and collect the forms, so you are forced to take the form to the second floor. Why not just post it in? It's dead easy and so far as I'm aware, you get no more bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
