Very similar to the ones in Oz :-D

Threats of 'the local policeman will visit you', immediate imprisonment etc and ends with 'enjoy your day' :-D :-D

edit... with the approach of the new financial year in July, I'm expecting more of these calls from the tax office ;-)

You were probably better brought up than I was anyway.

Allan .............. April 30 is the last day to file our tax returns fro the last calendar year.


Unfortunately for her ............ I know my rather large refund went into the bank about 2 weeks ago. CRA took too much tax off me at source last year fro some unknown reason.


I don't know whether she ended by saying "have a nice day", 'cos I hung up on her!!!


Sharron .......... not so sure about that!

I have learnt some pretty choice words and phrases over the years :-D
