Silly Spammer, no biscuit...

What fun - I have just received an e-mail from Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance Government of United Kingdom to tell me that I am eligible to receive a tax refund of 988.50 GBP!!

I would just have to click a link, fill in my details, and wait three or four days for them to process it all. Fancy!

Only problem - I don't pay UK tax, being Manx... Silly Spammer.

(As well as the British Government not being the 'Government of United Kingdom', not having a 'Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance' - and if they did they'd probably know how to use spaces after commas... and the £ sign...)

It takes her about ten minutes - the form is two pages long and all she needs is the slip from the agency she temps for in the summer saying how much she earned and how much tax she paid (which they are legally obliged to give her at the end of the period of employment) and the reference for the covenant from S2C and I.

Sounds like a Form 1040EZ here. I get curious as to how simple or complicated taxes are in other countries.
