Why have they decided to profiteer in this way, maybe at the expense of a self-employed person whose business has just had a really bad year and is late for that reason? <br /><br />After all, from my limited knowledge, if you're self-employed you can't normally average your income between good and bad years. You need a 'privileged' occupation to do that. Most unfair. <br /><br />By 1 February, they've got millions of forms from people who do owe income tax. These will probably take months to read. Time for someone brave to challenge the legality of this?<br /><br />The apparent madness of the system certainly fits in with the timing of the Lunar New Year.
