Done a while ago, but paid it today.

Then spent eons waiting on the phone to tax credits who have totally fucked up my claim and massively overpaid me (not my fault) and still aren't sorting it out.

No, 0300 numbers count as local rate afaik so should be free with most mobile contracts.

Come on, you can do it! You just need to log onto the system to start with, can you do that?

Nobody can do that. It's the hardest part.

Christ...I logged on today and it's all changed AGAIN. It used to be such a simple affair and now it's massively overcomplicated IMO.
Every year it gets harder and harder to do a simple return. FFS .....

That's how I feel, every year the format changes, and the language - its a nightmare trying to figure out what goes where.
First time I had to do it was last year. Fucking pain right up the fucking cunty hole, including several phone calls and being given conflicting information which was not always accurate or totally helpful, and sometimes patronising of me not being able to understand their "simple" system. Once finally at the point of actually being able to submit the figures though, it was actually quick and simple.
Was inevitably late though so got fined, but as had paid no income tax since 1992 didn't mind in effect paying a bit. This year though not so eager. Still lunching it out till last minute tho (as is my way with most things..). Only just read this page of this thread, and its making me think maybe should attempt it some time BEFORE 11pm on Thursday..
As my mate said when I told him it took about half an hour (forgot about the grief before that; and maybe it was more like an hour), he said think of it as getting paid £100 for half an hour's work if I avoid the fine. That's quite good motivation.

You got 110 out of me, so that's good to know you're satisfied with that

Mine is duly submitted this morning. Cutting it finer than I’d normally like but at least it’s done.

I always do mine in late January. Every year I think I must try to do it sooner, and every year I forget.
