Tax

by

Last Saturday I nipped out to have afternoon tea with nana, Julie & Chris. While we were talking, it came up that apparently I have to file a tax return. I presumed you were meant to, but since I paid all of about $88 tax in the previous financial year, on an incoming of $not-much,… Read more

Thesis hiccup
