It was about a year ago now that I told the Australian Tax Office that I would pay them back the money I owe (+ the extra 100% due to their extortionate goddam interest rate), and now it seems they want to collect the balance outstanding.

So I’m going to give it to them, all of it, even though it’s going to squeeze me to the limit and max out my credit. I am not going to ask for an extension, I am just going to pay the bastards, just so I don’t have to get their obnoxious "you must comply with us or else" letters anymore. Read the earlier post regarding my attempt to negotiate terms with them and you’ll know why this leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
