Taxing Taxes

For our income tax of 2008. Never have we a year where we could fill in our forms and get it right first go. Probably it'll take us a few more years of doing our taxes before we can just pop in all the numbers without fretting. This year also sees a departure from our usual of doing it last minute, by doing it now while it's still somewhere in the middle of the month rather than leaving it till the last week (or better yet, last day).

Last year, the major headache that had us wailing to all and sundry that we had to pay a hefty sum and that it couldn't be right, as all our years previous we'd never needed to pay a single sen (then again, previously we'd only been working part time...), until we realized that we didn't key in our PCB. Then the values cleared up plenty and we'd only to pay a minor sum.

This year, we'd left out our KWSP bit. Although the end result wasn't as drastic as last year, there was only a couple of hundred to pay probably but still, being a poor fellow making our way in this world we know we're not one who is supposed to be paying for taxes. Ahem. A quick check through our EA form and referring back to our printout of last years submission meant we traced the omission quickly.

Should be happy, right? More money for us?

Heck no. That spare moolah's been absorbed into paying Aidan's road tax and insurance instead!
