Davki / Tax


Trenutno se ucim angleski davcni sistem... za popiiiiii. Saj razumem da hocejo narediti tak sistem da bo cimbolj pravicen in da je potrebno vsako pravilo po sprejetju malce modificirat in dodat izjeme. Predvsem zato, da se zaprejo luknje, ki jih ljudje takoj zavohamo.
Ampak, vse ima svoje meje! Sistem tukaj bi najlazje opisal kot "trije milijoni izjem pri milijonu pravil". In potem si lahko predstavljate izpit. Ni sans da znas vse! In zato nas v "soli" dobesedno ucijo kako naredit izpit z 55% kolikor je potrebno. Ko je uciteljica razlagala primer je rekla (seveda v anglescini :)): " Ce dobite tak primer potem del b kar izpustite ker je prekompliciran in vzame prevec casa." Izpit je namrec casovno zelo zahteven in malokdo se prebije do konca.
No, zdaj sem se vam potozil in lahko grem nazaj za knjige. Se ena domaca naloga potem pa spat. :)

A, pa se o slovenskem davcnem sistemu. Ko sem zacel tu delati so mi hoteli davke pobirat se v Sloveniji. In so mi tudi jih nekaj mesecev. Ceprav mi pravi, da bo moja odlocba izdana do konca oktobra je se vedno nimam. Drzava pa seveda ima brezplacno posojilo v visini nekaj tisoc evrckov. Pa naj vam tekne gospod Bajuk!

It is all about the UK tax system for me. I can understand that if you want to have a fair tax system you need to have quite complicated rules. But there has to be a limit. But it looks like Mr. Brown didn't think so when he was coming up with them in the past years. Of course they needed to add some special cases and exceptions in order to close the loop holes in the system, but as a result the system is best described as "3 million exceptions to a million rules."
As a result there is no f*%^"£ way that you (me in this case) can learn everything for the tax exam I'm facing in December. We are being thought how to get the 55% needed to pass and our teacher actually said and I quote: "If you get a case like this in the exam, I would just skip the b part as it is to convoluted and takes way too much time." Therefore... back to books for me and at least learn how to pick up the "easy" marks. As if there is something like that!

And to finish... tax in Slovenia. When I started working in UK I got double taxed; UK and Slovenia, greedy bastards these tax people. I guess you know where the story goes, I still didn't get my money back and out beloved government has a free loan to play with. And I'm missing out on interest.
