Tax refund

In a rather futile move the Tax Office wrote to me (twice), to provide me a refund for over paid tax.

The amount?

£12.43! The bureaucracy involved in getting it to me must have cost at least that. I would have been prepared to say "tell you what, use it to pay off the national debt that nanosecond more quickly".

Still the fact they know so accurately is impressive, maybe that computer system is working in the worlds most complex tax system.
