Quote: lilredroosterI decided to try tumeric
I took one 500 mg pill in the morning
nothing happened and I thought sh** - I wasted my money yet again
but then in the afternoon the pain completely disappeared
I was somewhat shocked - I didn't really expect it to work
thanks again

Remarkably not!Quote: fantom"Unless they are paying you?" Isn't the exercise of filing so that they WILL pay you - but with your own money that's already been withheld?
In the UK, the exercise of filing is to determine the small amount of tax that we need to pay to balance the account. We aspire to pay our tax as late as possible even if that means a big payment due in January
A fundamental difference between the UK and US income tax systems is that in the UK, we don't tend to overpay throughout the year and then get a rebate. Under our PAYE system, we generally pay the correct amount and don't file anything! Where we do self assessment, that usually precedes us sending a small payment, or very unusually getting a rebate.
I'm always bemused when I read how popular your countrymens' idea of an annual rebate cheque seems to be.
I'd be annoyed to discover that I'd given my government an interest free loan every every year.

A lot of my immigrant friends in NY look at it as if it were an investment club. They contribute all year and get an annual payoff.
The El Cortez used to have a decent promo for cashing your refund check, and many companies will match your refund when buying over-priced furniture, so it has it's purposes.
