Hungarian personal income tax reporting software

So it's an extra 1 per centum. I wonder if there's a better way of writing that... per centum... per cent... percent... maybe we could make some kind of symbol.

As I said, it's an obfuscatory tactic. "1p" apparently sounds less to the ignorant masses than "1%", so they use the former.

NI... It sounds like the equivalent to our Social Security
My understanding is National Insurance (UK) ~= Social Insurance (Canada) ~= Social Security (USA).
-
You'd have to include the medicare tax as well, which is a separate tax than social security. You could just lump them together and say FICA though
-
Yeah, my 'understanding' is based on the fact that you get assigned a number under each scheme, so they must be equivalent in some way...
-
No the number refers to a different person than the actual you, you can tell because in communications the name will be written in all-caps but your actual name is not in all-caps, and therefore the Government has no power to tax you because you aren't that fictional person they tax.

I had heard about this, and would be interested to subscribe to your newsletter. I am especially interested in not paying my taxes...
-
...Yes.
Most of the time I try not to be, but on some forums I tend to relapse.I'm sorry.

I can help you, I spent many years advising Wesley Snipes on his tax strategy.
For some reason, that work kind of dried-up recently...

At least your Swing app uses the system "LookAndFeel" instead of the even more awful Swing theme.

desktop application so ugly and wrong
One of the most popular pieces of accounting software around here:
The error is it complaining that one of the dates has to match today's date. Because doing that for me is just too hard.
-
Please tell me you've been sitting on that screenshot for 4 years and didn't just take it now.
-
There's a huge date on it. It's last year.
And yes, I still have to deal with XP. Not on that machine, but XP everywhere.

also perceived as unpopular
Particularly by people with “complicated” tax affairs where that change would result in them paying rather more than they do at the moment. For some reason, such people (including quite a “surprising” number of MPs and former MPs) are quite influential with many governments.
I think that change is a good idea. After all, it simplifies things and We're All In It Together. ;)
-
Don't you realize the OMB number for the form 1040 hasn't been updated in years? Therefore I'm not required to fill out the form!
I just hope that folks would squawk loudly if the IRS did flub their Paperwork Reduction Act compliance up to the point where they couldn't legally obtain tax returns, though!
Filed under: the PRA does 3d6+6 CON damage to your information collections if you violate it, so don't do that
-
They could still legally collect the tax and you are still legally required to pay it so I'm pretty sure people would be in more of an uproar of how they wouldn't be able to get their refunds.

I think that that would be the sort of uproar that Congress would respond to amazingly rapidly…

Yeah -- I'd send them a check and ask them to make change or send me a bill for futher liabilities at that point, instead of filing a return.

Except most people are bad at taxes and overwithold.

Yeah -- in that case, they'd just send me a bigger check back :p
It'd be hilarious to see the "guess your taxes" game show playing out....

Oh, yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on calculating your shit and sending you stuff back.
NB: You don't actually have to file. But you have to pay the taxes. I know someone who used to not file for several years. When she eventually filed, she got her refund plus interest. Back in the 70s, this was apparently not a bad way to invest.
-
You can only get the refund for the past three years now though. Pretty sure you don't get interest anymore either.

I think that might have been about how often she'd file.

These days, even if you did, you wouldn't.

That is to say, interest rates are damn low.

Ah right, I understand that.
I vaguely remember something about how there's another interest rate that's used for handling things like court decisions and things like that, and that it's usually a fair bit higher than what you can normally get from a bank. It'd be sweet if you were able to get that on the money “invested” with the IRS. Probably no such luck though.
-
the problem is that taxes are due (in theory) pro-rated each quarter
For reasons, I didn't prepay my taxes one year when I was self-employed. The penalty on ~$7000 due was about $100.
I don't recommend people do this, though.

round here we have PADRE which is also yet another Java/Swing desktop application so ugly and wrong that makes filling your tax forms even more painful.
Back in the 90s, when I lived in Boston, the state^wCommonwealth[1] had a downloadable application that was very well-written: it was context-sensitive, changing the UI after each piece of data you put in it so you never had to guess which field to fill out next, and so on, and then automatically dialled their servers to upload the data when it was done. Worked great, and I've never seen anything like it since.
[1] I just put that in there to forestall nitpickers.

It's got what looks like a 2014 date in big letters.
Lots of idiots are still on XP. One of my cow-orkers told me last week he's using a 10yo XP box and it's fine for him. Of course as far as I know he does all his development work logged in to a server, so who cares how underpowered the PC is, it's just being used as a dumb terminal. He boggled when I told him I was running 8.1.

you're ok just giving that information to your employer?
Here in the land of killer octopuses and sensible driver licence regulations, we disclose our Tax File Numbers to our assorted financial institutions and employers, and the Australian Tax Office can and does grab the relevant information from them before tax return time rolls around. People with simple tax affairs (all income from employment, bank interest and shares) can submit returns online and only need to enter a tiny amount of deductions information, because the rest of the return is all pre-filled.
It works surprisingly well once you've actually managed to log onto it, though both acquiring logon credentials and actually logging on are full of WTF.

For more complicated online filing, the ATO has offered E-Tax for many years. It's a hideously ugly Windows-only thing, apparently written in Delphi. Count yourself lucky to have anything even vaguely platform-independent.

I just... WHAT?
They... they have people working on the patches but you have to convince it it's some obscure version of Windows...
WHAT?
Also, the answer is "No". Let them blow up. Upgrade or die!
In the same vain: Google Apps sync no longer supports Office 2007. Outlook is blowing up for people slowly as the sync application updates and starts showing them the middle finger.
This is the shit I have to deal with while also trying to do actual programming work, because I have to moonlight as a sysadmin as well

Why didn't you just directly correct it in his post?

Silent corrections are a barrier to badges.
Also, I haven't managed to h4xx0r my way into TL4 like you have

The current open-source flamewar is way.

Well, if "OMG I left my facebook logged in at the Apple storre and someone posted on my wall" counts as hacking, then social engineering is definitely up there

Social engineering counts as h4xx0ring?!
The best kind. It exploits the bug that will never get fixed: human stupidity.
Not that I'm calling TDWTF mods stupid. I'm sure they had their
pricereasons.

Damn it! I thought I actually wrote that in uncaffeinated state.
Your word removal and replacement confuses me, sir!

I actually read that in an under caffeinated state ...
But then again some sysadmins don't deserve any better then to be mooned
