100 days of Happiness - Day 84

[dizzojay]

Today's happiness is that I finally managed to submit my tax return, a day before the deadline!

Not overly exciting, I agree, but given that this was my first (and most probably last) attempt at filing my tax return online, thanks to our tax office (HM Revenue and Customs) spectacularly awful website, it's taken me four weeks, seven phone calls and three webchats to achieve something that should have taken a couple of hours.

If I'd filed after midnight tomorrow, I would have earned myself a late filing fine of £100 which I would have disputed furiously, so I've been keeping a log of all my calls, and webchats to back this up.  Thankfully none of that's relevant now.

But anyway.  Stupid tax return is done, stupid tax is paid up, I can forget all about the stupid HMRC and their stupid brain-buggering bureaucratic incompetence for another year!

Time to dance !!!

Congratulations on being able to file your tax return on time. To have to jump through so many hoops is a real pain. I let Turbo Tax take care of my return. Online for about 20 minutes and its done. Thank goodness.

Calling the tax dept 'stupid brain-buggering bureaucratic incompetents' - sounds about right for all government types.
