taxes

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2020.02.05

In preparation for my departure I did our taxes today, though I can't submit them yet. To my amazement it looks like we're owed a refund: it turns out that my most "permanent" employer must have been taking off too much tax. This is a weight off my mind as I'd been expecting to pay rather a lot due to the self-employment part of my income. I cannot get my head around how little tax you pay when self-employed.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
