Open letter

Dear government asshats,

Please stop sending me letters telling me you've "revised" my tax claim for last year and demanding more money. Seriously, this is the third time this year I've had to cut you a damned cheque, and I'm getting a little tired of it. The horse is dead (and broke), so please stop beating it. How many times in one year can you harp on a teeny tiny thing like my poor, insignificant T4? Really. How many? Is it a little challenge you've issued to your department? "Hey, let's see if we can drive this random taxpayer around the bend! First one to make her crack gets a Christmas bonus!"

Where the hell is the vaunted tax break you promised? Oh, right. I'm not allowed a tax break because I'm not a wealthy landowner.

Well, fuck you too.

No love,

Me

It's not a huge amount by anyone's standards except my own (especially now that I have no job). What I'm annoyed about is that I sent my tax return on time, and I have everything taken off *at source* and yet the government *still* thinks I owe them money.

I don't do my taxes myself. I can't understand how they can possibly think I still owe them money this late in the game!
