I'm under a Tax

Oh no! Every year, people in Hong Kong dread this day, and it's finally happened to me.

I've received my tax statement!

Unlike in Manila where it's the company's job to deduct and remit taxes to the government, here, we have to pay for it ourselves. The problem is, usually a person has to pay for his taxes for the next two years! So I have to pay the government my tax dues for this year and the next. Bummer!

The good news is, I don't have to worry about saving up for tax money the next 14 months. That means I can buy anything I want. ANYTHING! Mwahahaha!

Well, it's a good thing I have until January to pay. At least there's 2 months more to scrimp and save.
