2005 - 2007 UK Filers *Only*

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

I just filed. After lots of futzing around with correcting errors with TurboTax inserting schedules we didn't need, I finally did it. I managed to write down over $8000 in deductions so even though I am still paying taxes it's much, much lower than it was originally. Let's just say that it really pays to be self-employed sometimes.

Now I am going to drink another beer and ponder the nature of taxation.

*runs screeching from the thread at the mention of taxes*

Honestly. It's like fingernails down a blackboard to me.

*shudder*

Did you manage to write off the Wii as a business related expense?

No, I wish! I managed to rack up an obscene amount on business travel and entertainment last year. When I saw the figure I thought: if I spent that much on entertainment, how come I didn't have that much fun?

I did manage to write off a few drinks and dinners with VJ pals though since we did discuss my business development and/or I was on a business trip to London so I got to deduct those as genuine travel expenses... So thank you to StP, Aly, Pointy, Robin and dev for helping me knock a few hundred off my tax bill.

Should you ever stop to visit me, I'll happily discuss business.

That's right, Julez. Try to impress us with your French. It ain't workin'!

Just mixing it up a bit, maven. Don't be hatin'.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

I'll be hatin' on whomever I choose, Ms. Julez.

j/k -- je t'aime, Julez.

j/k -- je t'aime, Julez.

That first line was rather poetic.

Et je t'aime maven.
