I finally got all mine and my husband's tax twaddle together to send off to the accountant. Yep, as usual I am getting it all done at the last moment. What a pain in the proverbial.
You would think that me, being a bookkeeper, would have my tax all sorted within a month after the end of the financial year. Not so. It is the most onerous task and it looms over me like a big rain cloud until I get so stressed I just knuckle down and get it sorted. Once I get it done I wonder why on earth I did not do it ages ago since it really only took me about an hour!
Everyone else's books I do are not a problem. I just get the stuff into their accountant straight away.
Must be like the plumber whose tap at home leaks. I don't know, but I am so relieved.
Until next year of course.
When the cycle shall repeat itself.

I like your new look!
ReplyDeleteBut taxes--please no more talk of taxes, for I have not completed mine!
Tax twaddle is the WORST! (Cow wading through hers at the moment).
ReplyDeleteCow's theory, is, that's because you have to use your own time, instead of doing it on work time.
Sifting through papers in one's spare time is an insult to humanity.
Moo!
I only got mine done last week too :)
ReplyDeleteProjectivist: Trust me, you will never change. The sooner you accept you are a procrastinator the more at peace you will be with yourself.
ReplyDeleteAfter 45 years I truly have had to accept that I am bone lazy and have better things to do than things I should do.
In fact, I may have printed on my t-shirt "I don't do shoulds".
Mizmell: I can honestly say you are not alone with that little forgotten obligation.
ReplyDeleteTopiary Cow: I know. No one pays me to do my hideous paperwork. Although, I did get a cup of tea.
Get your tax done. Once you do it you will be free.
Loz: Must be part of the Australian culture - do it at the last minute.
