Random Raves 49: Cats Can Have Little a Salami

They are delaying tax day, fyi

Edit: the feds are, states will have to make their decisions.

City closed their tax office today and said no penalties or fees will be imposed for filing late.

Apparently mine can be done over the phone. We have until April 30.

I'd rather pay up and be done. I see no reason to put it off. I save for April tax payments every year since nothing is withheld anymore.

My taxes are usually processed within a week and I get a poor person benefit. This year it's been two weeks and still nothing, and according to Simple Tax, no poor person benefit to be expected either. I guess COVID-19 is impacting the CRA too.

Taxes are automatic here it's weird you pay them. If you overpay they refund.

I pay no taxes during the year since I no longer have a job. We are taxed on SS income and passive income every April for the previous year.

People were posting so many toilet paper memes on one of my Discord servers that the admin added an entire room just for them

That awkward moment when you already did your taxes three weeks ago anyway

That awkward moment when you don't even know how to do your taxes.

Plenty of TP, no milk powder, sweet chilli sauce, and low in deodorant.

You can smell nice while hiding in your toilet paper fort facing the apocalypse.

Spoiler TP :

4 packs for a $1.20 USD approx.

Will trade TP for sweet chilli sauce. Plenty of pasta, rice, peanut butter, cereal, meat etc.

Also running low on tampons, no hand sanitizer.

You probably live in a sane state that does your taxes for you. The US could have that too but it has been consistently blocked by lobbyists for tax prep companies.

I wonder what the chances are someone's going to make a bad coronavirus joke in the next thread title?

Self-employed people still need to submit tax returns in the UK, but anyone employed pays taxes through PAYE (pay as you earn) and that's all that's really necessary on the employee's side.

The state does the taxes for you, but then you also need to submit a yearly... thing whereby they assess whether they did the numbers correctly or you owe or you're owed.

Since I've never had a stable moderately-paying job I've never even had to pay taxes because I just don't have the income, and I wonder what'll happen when I do get one and have no idea how to proceed.

So you basically have to check their working out!???

You ask someone who knows .

Why did I do this?

 

[Traitorfish]

My employers have arranged for almost all of their staff to work from home. This wasn't something that they had a procedure in place for, so it turned out that the easiest, quickest way to go ahead was just have desktop PCs from the office delivered to every employees house, so we can access our systems more or less as normal. I'm a bit surprised that they didn't have anything else in place, but I'm glad they made it work.

Now let's just hope that they don't try and exploit the fact that the labour market is going to be very employer-friendly for the next few months.

I don't know what kind of work you do, but that seems like a massive security breach waiting to happen.
