I retired (ha! Ha!) a couple of years ago and then was asked to do a few hours work for DD1 which I did happily. So. . . . Enter the dreaded self assessment. I'm proud to say I did it all by myself and online too. Immdiately paid the £100 odd I owed-am I smug!.
Last year because we had moved some savings and only earned diddly squat interest, tax was reduced to under £20. Am expecting the bailiffs any time as you all say cos I'm small fry never mind the millions that are not paid.
A friend of ours, single lady works as a carer, lives hand to mouth was pursued by HMRC for £300-odd tax owing because someone had misapplied her tax code at one of the two jobs she had to have. On her behalf I gave it 'em both barrels but in the end got our MP involved who got it written off on grounds of exceptional hardship-which it genuinely was!
