A Taxing Problem

For the last two days, my phone has been ringing off the hook. Whenever I answer, I hear the buzzing noise of fax machines. Eventually, a couple of people stated they were trying to fax some tax returns and the brochure they had listed my phone number.

I called the Revenue Department to tell them this, and their attitude was "well, what do you expect us to do about it?" Which, after the fact, I guess is true, although I thought they might be alarmed that taxpayers would be thinking they were taking advantage of new, simpler government program and instead are being directed to me. Believe me, I checked, and I am not a simpler, government program. So, don't be surprised if you have problems faxing your tax returns.

I wonder if the Revenue Department would be more concerned if people started sending me their tax payments...
