I don't earn enough to pay tax now that I'm retired, but always found it easy enough when I was working. Got a couple of unexpected rebates too in days gone by.

Just paid my tax 30 mins ago, shaking.
Hate paying tax when so many get away with it and are far richer than me and as a small business trying to turn a profit they expect me to pay tax on money I haven't made yet.
It makes my piss boil.

I feel your pain Mr Chopper, I am happy to pay anything I owe, but when it comes to tax it bugs me. I feel to this stage of my life I have put far more in the system than I have taken out.

As a person who has pretty much taxed at source it is not an issue to bring teh other bits together. better than a paper form and this year a rebate.....

your filing for the year April 2015-2016 right? why does anyone leave this for 9 months?
Was playing golf at the weekend and one of the guys I was playing with is an accountant. Staggering how much cash floats round the economy to avoid tax........particularly in the building trade in his experience. Biggest culprits are the multinationals though........'avoidance' on a massive scale.

Was that through World Pay?, I had the same my card declined. In the end I did a bank transfer.
One is legal, one isn't.......very fine line !

Apologies if i misunderstand your post, but in my experience not many people pay tax unless you are asked for it and then they take it up to the deadline.
In an ideal world we would put away 25% of your monthly takings and stuff it under the mattress, but due to things like cashflow, unexpected bills, making up for poor months to pay essential bills like mortgage, food etc it is tricky to stick to doing this every month.
I have enough put aside this time, but i know many who wait up to the deadline and just dont have it to pay and have to go cap in hand to anyone who will lend it to them or borrow from a bank or worse.
Even though i have it this time, i pay very reluctantly due to the unfairness of all the others that owe millions and get away with it, pay late and i get fined £100.

How did you find the transition from self-employed to employment
Managers over managing you etc.
Wish I'd done mine earlier, would have pocketed my refund and not overpaid for so long. Just got into the habit of doing after Christmas I guess (when the reminder comes through).

Mine went straight through about 1.5 hours ago, unfortunately.
