According to the Swedish Tax Agency, I earned too much money last year and consequently owe them £510.
(Forgive me for the moany, ranty post that is to follow, I am pretty pissed off with certain members of my so-called family)
In short, no, I didn’t, I was a student last year and earned, in total, £2200 throughout the year.
Now, my stepsister and stepdad who never speak to me apparently got a letter stating this way back and rather than passing this letter on to me they opened it, read it and forgot it because the two of them in all honesty couldn’t care less about whether or not I get to pay a fine which I am not actually liable to pay , but now have to pay anyway because my stepdad and stepsister ‘forgot’ to pass on this information to me, meaning that I now, once my stepsister finally opens her mouth, won’t even be able to appeal the case because it’s too fucking late.
I hate, hate, hate my stepdad. And my stepsister. Whoever said you had to love your family, adoptive parents or blood relations doesn’t matter - kindly fuck off.
Anyway, my life is consequently somewhat of a tango, one step forward and two steps back. Getting a job was a nice thing, now here you go, pay this fine or else.
There’s no way I could pay £520 anyway, even with the money I get from the job I am starting next week I will earn only the bare minimum I need to be able to pay my rent, council tax and electricity bills - once I have paid everything I need to pay every month I have roughly 35 left every week, which pays for food and that’s about it.
And getting to know that I could have cleared up this mistake (which it is, the Tax Agency claims I received a a means tested form of rent benefit every Swede under the age of 26 is entitled to while in uni, but I never applied for it on account of not living in the fucking country and never received it so I don’t know why they’re pestering me) and thereby not end up in the Crown’s Bailiff Authority’s register - read not being able to rent a flat in Sweden, open up a bank account, and so on and so forth - is incredibly frustrating.
Anyway, it seems like I have until the end of February to somehow raise this money and, sure, I do have a donate button which I don’t mention (well, I obviously just did, but you know), but I honestly don’t see how I will manage to fix this.
Good thing is I’m living in the UK so if I never return again in my entire life I could possibly evade paying something I technically don’t owe the Tax Agency in the first place.
Sorry for the rant.
That really, really, really sucks. I hope everything gets worked out.
If any of you have the means to, please consider sending them a bit of money.
