This is the first one of these damn things I've ever had to fill in, and it winds me up. Not only do they expect you to fill tax forms in yourself, (making you do their work for them) but they expect you to fill in a stupid form asking for loads of personal information. Filling it in isn't a problem for me. The fact that it's illegal not to is though.

Surely they already have this information via 'employment records' those on 'pensions and benefits', school registers and the electrol register, there must be loads of ways they can get all thin info but as you say, "we're doing the work for then" and it's costing millions bleedin joke. What about all 'those' who shouldn't be in the country, are they going to fill one in? I don't think so

PS - as we have an irish in the Forum, take this one:
My dear Minister of Finances have anounced the pensions (my pension) will be reduced in January 2012. In the current year they have raised the taxation on pensions...Europe, Europe, any greek around?

The census tells the government where to spend the tax money. If you fill in the census just right and convince all your friends to do the same, it might mean your neighborhood gets some perks.

Be careful now....this thread could get pulled if you "pick" on certain groups!
SCatlyn: Yes, I kept the stats for a college men's b-ball team(and traveled on their road games as well), b/c I was fascinated w/a British exchange b-ball player by the name of Martin...
Hopefully his 1st name wasn't Lockheed. (but if it was, that's nice too)
SCatlyn: That's funny... b/c 2 posts ago, when I pressed the post button - it said no threads found(but then I saw the title in the forums & it said I had posted 10 seconds ago )
LOL...I don't think the sensitivy threshold has been reached yet?

We had to do ours last year. It's illegal here not to do it, also . They don't send out cops but they hire workers t do it. I suppose it you refuse they might. It's one way we get more money for our schools and things but yeah they do ask persoanl questions.
I worked as an innumirator in Indian Census2011. I found it an interesting job bcoz i got the chance to meet strangers who respected me a lot. I got the exposure of handling complicated objections. Some showed the good interest & some questioned more intead of answering. But the common thing was that the people expecting individual benefits. Infact, it was one of the memorable task in my life & i learnt a lot.
