About a month ago I received a letter from HM Revenue and Customs regarding the 3 months from January to April 2007. Apparently they were concerned that they had no record of me earning any money and hence didn't pay any taxes! I have to say I was touched by their concern!
They gave me a lovely form to fill in on which I detailed all the inactivity that filled those months between leaving NAB and the end of the tax year.
Anyway time rolled on and I was far too busy with Lauren and Jocey to worry about it until I received a rather long letter from the Revenue on Monday! It told me that they had reviewed my last 5 years of tax payments and had come to the following conclusions.
- In 2002-03 I was mainly in Australia and didn't have to pay any tax.
- In 2003-04 NAB failed to calculate my tax correctly and I owed the Revenue £60.
- In 2004-05 NAB failed to calculate my tax correctly and I owed the Revenue another £55.
- In 2005-06 NAB failed to calculate my tax correctly and I owed the Revenue another £60.
- In 2006-07 NAB failed to calculate my tax correctly but fortunately the Revenue owed me about £500!
Hence they enclosed a cheque for the difference!
Each year was covered off by a different page of the letter and I was cacking my pants by the time I got to 2006-07! Nice to see that NAB finely managed to do something in my favour!
That little refund paid for this rather fine monitor!

OK, now I'm cacking my pants as lets face it, NAB fail to calculate most things correctly so does that mean we're likely all in the same boat?!!
...after all it is a bank, you can't expect them to get it right. No, wait, what's that you say? 'You can...' Oh!
I reckon the phrase you are looking for is... "Don't Go There!"
