WINDFALL

Our tax accountant contacted us last week with the good news that we are getting a tax refund from IRD.



This is the final year of wrap up of a small company that we ran and for which we  have tax credits. We have kept the accountant on to tidy up any issues so that we don't have any nasty surprises. Out tax record is clean and we've paid a fortune over the years for overseas earnings in share options and other bits and pieces.
The tax amount we're getting back is about $380.

Whoopdy Do! But at least it's something. I said to the Old Girl that it will pay for most of the PS4 that I'm getting for Christmas.


Then, yesterday we received the bill from the accountant. $396.

Bugger.
