haha. we don't pay tax on lottery winnings here in Australia; they are classified as winfall gains and subsequently do not fall within the scope of s6-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth).

When I was in Eurodisney they screwed me well... I was off Saturday and Sunday, my partner at the time was off Tuesday and Wednesday... and with that and shift patterns we never saw each other. And we worked in the same place and shared a flat.
bastards.

Dude, I've been on the phone to the Inland Revenue, talking tax until my head hurts. Why do they call it helpline when the only thing they help is to boost painkiller sales???
Plus I am paying tax through my ears, it seems, they only take the money and hope its ok...
Damn that's so true.
Yeps..not only was Einstein a genius..he was also a very very funny man...
"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."
"The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

I'm pretty partial to him and Dr. Seuss....both are March babies...Dr. Seuss has my birthday!
taxation is a very hard concept to get a grasp on. if i knew more about the taxation system used in your country i'd offer assistance. the Aussie tax system is one of the most complex in the world. scaryyyyyyyyyyy!

that depends on a number of factors.
generally civil penalty provisions apply or if warranted, criminal sanctions which opens up the possibility of going to gaol.

The "awferfucksake!" moment with the taxman yesterday was not because of what they charge me (I understand, death and taxes, comes to everybody, nothing you can do about it) but because of their lack of logic.
I have been filling their forms for years (in all their incarnations), I am registered to vote here and just applied for a marriage license and the guy I spoke to on the phone yesterday said... Ah so you live here?
No, you dumbass, I just come for the taxes.

Well, if you only have the name tag, that is not too bad. But when I was working in Eurodisney, and I had the nametag and the pink southern belle costume on, they still asked the same bloody question.
