it clarifies points that may be confusing. It is now possible to
make your tax return online.
Read the form through first and delete with a single line the
sections that do not apply to you. As the form is comprehen-
sive and is used for all categories from the high to the low
income bracket, much of it will only apply to certain sections
of the community. If you can get rid of the sections that do
not relate to you, the form will not look so daunting. If
you are self-employed, make sure you fill in the relevant
pamphlet the Inland Revenue will send you.
If you have problems, do consult your local tax office. They
are usually very helpful.
Applying for a driving licence
Driving licences are now issued in the form of a plastic
photocard and paper counterpart. Both must be presented
when required.
Organising your photograph
You will require an up-to-date colour photo similar to a
passport photo; it must be of good quality as it will be
reduced and copied. To confirm it is a good likeness it must
be signed on the back by a person of standing in the com-
munity: doctor, teacher, minister of religion, civil servant,
police officer.
Confirming your identity
You must also send proof of identity in the form of current
passport, birth certificate or adoption certificate. The
originals must be sent. Copies are not acceptable.
