My sister returned from Seattle this xmas and was shocked at how expensive it is to live here, the price of petrol, food, dining out etc. Why do we pay so much on taxes

The taxman has already received 40% of the estate as it was in excess of the ceiling amount. The rest of the estate has come to me. Is it mine or do I also have to pay tax? Anyone know?

Does anyone know how long it takes? I've been in my current job since October 2005 and neither myself or my employer thought about my latest P45. I have submitted this in mid November and and have been getting about £130/month on top of my normal wage since. From what I calculated I've overpaid about £1500 and wondered how long it takes to get it back (if ever ?!?!?!?!?)
Thanks :)

I just went on to the Inland Revenue website to look at whether I qualify for Working Tax Credit, as I am considering leaving my current job I was playing with the figures and it said I was entitled to £141.00. Is that a month? a week? a year?

I've asked a question about whether I could be classed as self-employed or not. I am from Germany and I've been working as a freelance translator in London area for the past 3 years (translating from German to English). I have no National Insurance in this country (cos I never needed to apply for one), and I do not do bookkeeping. I just have several permanent clients, and whenever any one of them come to London, they contact me, and I translate for them. I do not operate from an office or home, and I just meet my clients where they want me to come. Some times I don't get any calls for 2,3, 4 days in a row, and sometimes I get to translate 5 days a week (it all depends on luck!). I usually earn about £800 a month, and I ALWAYS get paid in cash.
Now someone said "failing to have evidence of your turnover can be just as bad as pretending it doesn't exist. What if the taxman says Aha! but you might have been making £8000 a month! Eh? Eh?? Keep Good Records." But HOW do I keep records?

I don't really understand the state pension, it says it is based on ni contributions so does that mean you get more or less depending on how much you earned? And if you were on benefits all your life does that mean you don't get pension?
I am asking this hypothetically I am a long way from receiving pension yet:)

If I'm a freelance translator, and I translate from English to German or vice versa, am I considered to be self-employed and do I have to register and pay tax?

I do not have an office, nor do I do any bookkeeping. I get paid in cash (for instance, I charge £20 per hour, and if I translated for 2 hours, I'll get £40 on that particular day).
I advertise my services in newspapers and sometimes I go on for 2 days without anyone calling me, and sometimes I translate for 3 days in a row. I earn about £800 a month. I'm just not quite sure if I should register as self-employed here in Britain?

OK before anybody just attacks me I've had a lot on the past few months including being very ill and I forgot to sort out my tax, in fact I only just remembered on Christmas when I got out of my car at my mums house and noticed my tax was way! out of date...any way my MOT has run out also....I know! I know!, but go easy I'm feeling like sh*t at the moment :(

Where do I stand legally? and what should I do? I'm trying to sort out an MOT and will backdate the tax when I get it(I'm know tax dodger) I was thinking of contacting the DVLA but I'm worried they will just slap me with a grand fine:(

Is there a web site? I've checked the inland revenue site but it says you need to ring them.

I've recently bought an item of jewellery from the US but need to return it as it's not as per description. I paid £50 duty on it - how on earth do I get the duty back, or is it non refundable? Can't find anything on HMRC website

I am a full time student, which means I am exempt from paying council tax, but I am about to rent a house with two of my friends who are both working full time.
When working out rent they worked council tax into the price, but I dont pay this.
How does it work? Is there a set price that we are meant to pay on the house and we have to split it between the 3 of us or do we each pay for our own room or what?
