Clients' reactions to being told how much tax they need to pay

“Are you sure you typed the decimal point in the right place?” 
“Do I at least get a thank-you card from HMRC?” 
“And I suppose you’ll be asking me to pay it, not you?” 
“What if I just… didn’t? Hypothetically, of course.” “
“You must be confusing me with someone who actually has that kind of money.” 
“Is this tax or some sort of punishment for being moderately successful?” 
“Remind me again why I thought going self-employed was a good idea?” 
"Are you on some sort of flipping commission for the taxman?!"
"Do you get some sort of sadistic pleasure from the amount of tax you're telling me I owe?"
