a) doesn't it get post-marked that day if you just drop it in a kerbside box? Why do you have to go in to the office?

b) am I reading this correctly that you have to send any payment owing when you submit the return? Now I'm wondering which aspects of the whole thing might be different there... We have to submit the form (by post or electronically), by 31st October, and then some time later we get either a bill or a payment, depending on what it worked out to be. A bill you can pay by direct transfer from your bank account via phone or internet, by cash or from your bank account at the Post Office, or by mail. Payments usually are just paid directly into your bank account, but you can get sent a cheque if you want.
