US ones range from dead simple to stacks of paper. UK seems to be similar, except not familiar with all the terms and classifications so struggling with which 'extra pages' I need.

A fairly simple request for information made as complicated as possible >:(

I find the online filing works well, but don't even think about trying to log on this time of year!

I'd complain, according to the advert tax doesn't have to be taxing!

In this case it's a ton of hassle for not that much money.  :-/ :'(

Ahh, forgot about that. As I say, made as complicated as possible >:( It took me a couple of attempts before they sent me one that worked too.

Anything other than PAYE employment and a bank account apparently. In the US you have to do a return no matter what.

You are responsible for owning up to any untaxed income and requesting one. Depends if you have anything complicated in your finances and/or earn into the top tax band.

IME they'll send you one for a few years and if it doesn't change much from one year to the next they start sending you a much simpler form to fill in.

Do you get any perks'? Private medical? Lunch allowance? Travel allowance? Clothing allowance?

Any of these may trigger them sending you a tax return.  :'(

They sent me one for three years, which I never filled in (Before self assessment).

In the end I phoned them up and asked them why they kept sending them as I was PAYE, didn't own any shares and didn't have any investments. They told me to write that on the return forms and return them. I did this, sent all three back in the same envelope and I never heard from them again.  :-/

It seems quite arbitrary to whom they will send a tax return to.   :(
