Grr - taxes filed, but my payable has an exta $3.90 added on.
I remember seeing this last year, where it claimed I paid something late, while their own payment records showed I was many days early. To my complaints then I was told it would go away. :(
So do I bother to try and track it down and spend hours on the phone again, or do I just pay the $4 Bureaucratic Ineptitude Tax and be done with it?
I just filed my tax return and paid the amount owing too, five days before the due date.
Tax office told me they assume I probably won't pay until oh, say… (wet finger in the wind) maybe May 6. They calculate an arrears interest charge for then and add it to my tab.
On phone they asked: "Oh you didn't pay that did you? It'll just go away when we settle the account."
They pre-charge a late fee before anything is late.
Actually, US taxlaw isn't that peculiar in this aspect. Other countries have similar provisions. Why should criminal commercial activity be tax-free? OFC not. The criminal penalties come on top. 👍
In countries (e.g.those of the #EU) that have a value-added tax, the surcharge is even nicer (on top):
the gross turnover is divided by somwhere b/w 105-130%. The difference b/w the gross turnover and that value constitutes the VAT =100% additional tax. 😀 @msbellows@GottaLaff

Macron a passé un savon à Attal pour avoir annoncé un projet de taxation des "rentes". Le président, "ulcéré" par la tournure du débat sur le déficit public, lui a interdit à lui et à ses ministres de prononcer ce mot, relate Le Point. Il ne faudrait pas s'aliéner ces meilleurs soutiens...
Crazy to me that TFG (a.k.a. he who will not be named here) and others at top of the Republican Party have convinced so many working class followers that they are the low tax party. They're not — unless you're either wealthy or a corporation: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-era-tax-cuts-set-160750197.html
