The alternative is:
Gov’t: You owe us money. We took the amount we want directly from your income.
Me: But shouldn't the amount be lower because of X and Y and Z ?
Gov’t: Send us all the right paperwork and we might give you back some of what we took if we agree with your claim.
I actually like this version better (and it's also what I am used to), but I'd see people being uncomfortable with that arrangement.
- Thlom 5y agoMy employer pay taxes for me based on either a table or percentage (this is up to me). At the end of the year our tax authorities sums everything together (income, capital gains, ownership, debt and so on) and sends me my preliminary tax report for me to verify and make changes to. For normal people it's usually correct with most deductibles already accounted for. It's easy to fill in any other deductibles or income that is not already accounted for. This year it ended up with the government owing me approx. $2000.
