I feel for you mate...I spent a couple of years working abroad but paid from the UK. Came home to a 46K tax demand- they had "estimated" my earnings and it took quite a fight to get out of that..
good luck and keep your head up buddy

Re: The Tax Man Cometh !
In fairness this issue won't cause a total blowout in The Tyre Of Life,more like a slow puncture! But it highlights ( as the rest of you have said) how life can deal a blow when least expected.
A book I read about self sufficient living,written just after the Arab Oil Embargo of the 70's highlighted just that.The author said,about home heating," Be it gas,oil ,electricity or coal, a single government decision can wreck your home economy overnight." In other words,not your fault but you suffer.

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

The quote ( paraphrased I must add) is from 'On Next To Nothing' by Thomas and Susan Hinde.Printed in 1977 if I remember correctly.Written after the said embargo and during a decade of general hardship and crap economy.Its been my bible in a way,not particularly an instruction book,but one that inspires you to look further into topics.
