Tweets re the 31 January tax filing deadline (taxpayers)

HMRC now don't miss a thing on the tax return. "Were you party to one or more tax avoidance schemes?" @mel_kenny 

 I avoided the £100 fine, but I'm convinced the Inland Revenue must be conspiring with greedy accountants to keep them busy (and rich). @edthedoc 

 Wow, never thought I'd say this, but the Inland Revenue are rather lovely. *Happies* @SianySianySiany

Will the inland revenue never answer my call? Actually I don't want them to so everything's rosie :-) @tunatheday 

 Lots on this weekend but is mainly about the Inland Revenue and finishing my tax return. Dunno why I leave it so late: they owe me money! @johndglynn 

 The Inland Revenue owe me an iPad ! @ketan

Tax. Done. New resolution for 2010 - get an accountant. @joelbradbury (10pm Sunday evening)

Submitted tax return for first time without going to the wire. It is only 10pm, usually only do it with minutes to spare. @aabboud 

Just completed tax return 94 minutes ahead of deadline - woo hoo. No fine for me. And no tax to pay on losses. Next year I'll give more HMRC @robertwrobinson
