A life story as told by the evidence of taxing affairs through the tax letter envelope. This detailed life story illustrates a light hearted and poignant slant on the HM Revenue & Customs tax return or repayment claim form. A lifelong correspondence accompanying taxation and payment.

Nineteen ink jet on canvas monoprints - Contained and displayed under glass in a handmade wooden 'Ledger'. Price on request.

Graduation

Fairly good grades - The bank balance isn't looking too healthy - better get a job - any job - soon.

Good Luck

Sensible decision to employ a company to compile a good CV - Good decision! - Applications are in - all over the country - let's await the results.

Congratulations

It's a good start and will help to pay off those nagging loans and keep the bank happy. Not quite what we had hoped for but in a few years you may well progress. Keep in mind that a union of marriage has a beneficial influence on a tax account.

Property

The first rung on the property ladder - overtime may be required to keep up the payment schedule.

Marriage

The benefits are immediate.

First Child

Time to set up a trust fund perhaps - remember nappies are cheaper when bought in bulk.

Family

A larger property with a bigger garden may make life easier.

Striving

Don't work too hard - It may be advisable to consider this time as the intense period within an entire working life. See the 'bigger picture'.

Mid-Life

Time to enjoy the rewards of hard work and experience - Perhaps a higher management position is an attainable goal.

Schooling

Finding a good Secondary School is important - consider moving to a better area, or perhaps consider the fee paying option?

Management

At last, perhaps any outstanding student loan can now be finally paid off in full.

Fleeing the nest

Those fees and the year out travelling - Keep at it...

Commitment

The endowment mortgage proved to be a sensible decision over time.

Downsize

Children have settled, sensible move - downsize to the cottage, keep up that three day week.

Pension

Investing in the garden? Cash in some capital investments and build that gazebo, plenty of time...

Adventure

Moving abroad to the sun is possible, generally pensions have more value there. Keep your investments in the U.K. as bank cards are acceptable world wide. Stay within agreed credit limits.

A place in the sun

Bom dia, Seasons cumprimentos! Keep in touch and don't forget to notify us of any change of address.

Aches and pains

Sorry to hear about your illness. Remember, National Insurance contributions may not have the same value abroad.
