RE: Oct 15 final 2017 tax deadline: Share your tax horror story with BlockTrades

Right from the time of the British colony, the issue of tax payment/collection has always been horror, @blocktrades I must confess that this scandal still prevails. Your story just triggered my memory to an incident I can’t forget in a hurry, let me make it brief and simple. In 2005 when i lost my Dad, until his demise he was a loyal servant to the government of that time, investing both physically and intellectually as a civil servant, but yet still, he was greatly owed by the agency he worked for . Although death was so cruel to take him away just at the time he was to be paid his debt. As his next of kin ,it was in my place to get his entitlement. Through the help of his old colleagues, I was able to push the claiming process to 90% completion but during the last phase which the deduction of taxation was to be done, I was told that 60% of my late Fathers debt was to be deducted as tax leaving me with 40%. As a poor orphan I was left with no choice than to take what was given. Ever since then I promise myself not to forget and forgive our country IRS. @blocktrades its really hard that most humans tend to rejoice over other persons failure. Thanks for letting me share my story with you.

Interesting, so by delaying the payment, they were able to pay less in the end. They should have had to pay interest for their delay of the original payment.
