why is the inland revenue self assessment form so complex?

Very simple reason: to make totally unnecessary work for civil servants who are leeching from those parts of society that actually make the wealth to keep them in a job. It could be a heck of a lot simpler if they really wanted it to be.\n\nThis is true for other taxes too eg road tax.Why have that when it is avoided by the criminal classes and is expensive to collect? Simple - it creates non-jobs. To simplify it just abbolish it and add a few more pence to the petrol duty. Then those who drive more/have less efficient vehicles pay more AND its hard to avoid unless you steal petrol!

It's just your typical bureaucracy.  If you owed the IRS money, they would move quicker than a rabbit.

Yes.\n\nCheck with Inland Revenue.\n\nThe program is a refund of your taxes for the year.

Yes request a new form from your employer. I claim 8 allowances when I am only eligible for about 3. Your employer cant even notify the IRS unless you make 10 or more allowances. If your employer ask why so many allowances, just say, "that is my personal tax status, thank you"....This always works for me, and while I dont get many taxes, back, I get less taken out.

you need to contact the inland revenue www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk From the sound of it though, if you've been in full time employment and the different companies you've worked for have sorted out your wages, I cant imagine you getting a rebate, but its worth a try

I received the same reference # and I just called. I was told that as of yet no change has been made to my income tax and if there is a problem or incorrect entry they will try to correct it and process it on their end. If not they will mail me some information if I need some additional document etc. to be mailed. I enclosed at 8901 form with my documents (not sure if it has anything to do with that or not). Keep you posted :)

It is not NEARLY so simple as it appears to the outside world ---\nYour every move becomes a target for micro analysis\nyou have to deal with almost everything--thru someone else--\nYou can't even throw your trash out without having it torn into by lunatics looking for some small piece of you--or something they can analyze into some twisted story about you for print--When you DO go out into public places -- you are acosted by people (most, well meaning) that want all kinds of things from you---an autograph--a keepsake something -- a cell phone call to their friend or relative-- a reference----you name it (literally)----You become the paymaster for a HOST of personnel ---mostly dealing with SECURITY and MANAGEMENT---and all these people have to be cared for by someone else---the Christmas list alone would stagger you !!!\n\nAdd to all of this---the fact that in most cases --as a celebrity--you are so locked into contracts of management by the time you are a celebrity that very little of your time is actually your time anyway---you're actually at the whim of the schedule and bookings---you're usually in places that you do not know what the  hell is going on in---so someone is having to guide you around like some kind of invalid---and it goes on and on and on ----\nSure the pay is great----but then you're in a brand new tax bracket and the government is all over your stuff---so you have accountants (and who's going to watch over THEM to see that they don't give you another Willy Nelson workout ??)  \nSo--best be thinking this one through very thoroughly before you judge it all from the Letterman show or the tabloids---you would simply NOT believe the absolute craziness involved until you were eye to eye with the monster !!!

Contact your local tax assessors office and they will be able to give you a breakdown.  Otherwise you can look it up on-line on the assessors website.

A form of local residential property tax, used in England, Wales, and Scotland, maybe other location, I'm not sure on that. It pays for various local services.

Of course they should tell you what the decision is regardless of whether it is being randomly reviewed.\n\nIt sounds like pen-pushers gone mad!\n\nTalk to your locally-elected government representative and demand that the system change so that you can be told of the decision that has been made.\n\nIf you are applying for a disability pension, you have enough to deal with without that load of garbage being added to it!

The best advice I can give you at this point is to "calm down". If as you indicate, you have not earned anywhere near the number the CRA is comming up with, then there is nothing to worry about. If as also indicated you have an accountant looking after filing you income tax returns he/she should be the first person you speak with. The CRA is also bound to provide you with all the details of how they arrrived at their number. if these details were not included with your assessment there is a telephone number on your assessment that you can call to obtain this information.\n\nOnce you get all the facts together things will sort themselves out. If in fact you do owe the money favourable payment terms can be negotiated.\n\nDon't die a thousand deaths when only one is necessary. Today is Sunday so there is nothing to be done today. Put this issue out of you mind and enjoy the moment you are in right now it is as perfect as life can be. Smile!

A cpa can do it, or jsut a good accountant, or you can do it yourself as most people do. You can find all the forms you need on the internet.

In my experience that's a matter of national security with the official secrets act involved. I think they must employ some obscure member of the royal family at an unconscionable salary to do the arithmetic and its a big big big secret. You'd think it would be such a simple thing, but no.

i had asimilar problem a while back and got in touch with the inland revenue. in my case my employer had been deducting the payments and listing them on my wage slip but not forwardinig it on. the guy from the inland revenue said that as i had reasonable grounds to believe that paye and national insurance payments were being made that it was my employer and not me that they would chase and possibly prosecute if necessary.\nhope this helps
