HMRC Repaid me £12K in tax

[Sockpuppet]

Why don't you give £11k of that £12k to SallyAnne.

That would be one fantastic thank you shag.

Until you are investigated it doesn't matter one little bit.

However I think that it has to be actual paper. Just stuff it in a box and hide it in the loft

True. I think I'll stick it in the cellar though, then if there's a flood I can hand over the soggy mess and tell them to knock themselves out. No rule saying the original paperwork has to be pristine and legible is there?

Once handed over a load of paperwork to the accountant after it had been in the boot of the car and a bottle of wine broke over it.

Chateauneuf Du Pap(er) I think it was. Sorry.

No, but that might put them in a bad mood, and in a bad mood they can be excrutiatingly thorough!
