and do my tax for last year. This is a daunting task.

Fucksake. I doubt I even still have the payslips. I'm not a payslip-keeping sort of person.

shows you all your earnings for the tax year?

Thing is, my old job ended in March last year, which was still in the 2010/11 tax year. I didn't earn a penny in the UK in the 2011/12 tax year but the tax office here in Holland still wants to know what I earned in the UK in the tax year before last. Hence frustration.

you hand over all your bits of paper and receipts to your accountant and he tells you how much tax you have to pay
it's really as simple as that
it's only a shitter when you have to start stashing shitloads of money and waiting to be told how much of it isn't yours, that's a right pain in the gonads

I am waiting to do the latter though. And looking at my bank account and thinking "hrmmm I don't know if that's enough" erk. But it's my own fault for going to bloody Texas.

my accountant used to explain it all to me and my eyes would glaze over, I ended up just asking him how much I owed then dropped a cheque on his desk and fucked off
he was an odd bloke, little thick glasses, long hair but totally bald on top, I don't think I ever had a masturbatory fantasy about him
stop me if I reach the too much information point won't you

I want to know roughly how much I should be saving for tax, that's all. Hopefully they'll get back to me and it'll all be sorted and simple and then I can stop worrying about it and just keep putting my expenses in the software like a good little spangolin.
