Kinja'd!!!

I got a raise. At the same time my property taxes and health care costs increased. Less money goes to my wallet each month because of this. I want to explain this to my boss and ask for another raise but I think hed just tell me to go fuck myself.

Thankfully for me, we have PAYE (Pay As You Earn), unless your self employed that is.

The tax office (HMRC), looking at what you earned last year assumes you’ll earn the same this year and says how much tax you should pay from each paycheck, then at the end of the year they look at how much you earned and paid and adjust it the following year.

Another bonus getting back from Holland was that when I left for Holland I hadn’t worked a full year in the U.K. and so when I got back to the U.K. I got all the tax I had paid back to me from when I left.

I hope it works out okay for you while your paying it off.

I would try to attest it with a ‘belastingadviseur’ or a lawyer. The ‘belastingdienst’ tends to fuck up a lot lately, they just hope noone will attest and just pay.

cheers mate

i knew it was coming as i was earning a lot more last year than the year before

but i couldnt get the taxman to understand...largely coz their website dont work..and the phone staff dont know anything

at one point they were telling me my income was 7 grand over a year and trying to help me out with a bunch of benefits.... managed to talk them out of that or i’d be looking at something closer to 15 grand to pay back

that sounds like a plan

tho i did earn a lot more money last year than before and my toeslagen remained unchanged (i tried repeatedly..that is one messy system to work with)

i think this is probably pretty accurate....just shitty timing

Ye’, It would drive me crazy each year waiting for a tax bill and hoping I had enough to clear it.

Speaking to tax people over the phone or using the website is a nightmare, always best to just pop in (with a coffee in hand as you may be waiting a while) and/or make an appointment.

They were very friendly when I visited the belastingdienst to register for a Sofinummer.

My tax officer even send me a letter with a break down of how much I paid, where it went and pie chart,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pie.

I, um forgot to pay my state tax bill this year (didn’t have one last year because Texas doesn’t do state income taxes). I had submitted my taxes electronically, and thought that they did a bank debit as well, but apparently not, they sent me an angry bill for the $350 I was short plus $6 in interest. All in all, a fairly cheap mistake to correct.

we had a good time.. mostly spent hiking about for me (swimming in the sea in the mornings wandering about during the hottest part of day..and getting fancy food after dark)

spent a day in a waterpark and a couple days bussing about to different towns and stuff

we’ll have to go again and make trips to the good stuff i think... to much stuff on that island

gotta do the samaria gorge next time... its a 5-6 hour hike (my daughter was not in the mood for that.... damn lazy teenagers :p)

lol sorry

Ah right, too many 'toeslagen' after earning a lot more than the year before. Been there myself. Sucks, but something you knew would happen as those benefits are all income based and if your income rises you are less/not eligible any more.
