tiamatladyMy ass hurts.
I have to file an "abatement of Excise tax" because my City has JACK EARTHBOUND SHITE on the web for instructions or information on Excise taxes.
Fesking Slummerville? You can pay your GD taxes online.
Not Quincy. Screw you Quincy. Your ass is getting a call tomorrow. If I don't have to fill out this stupid thing, I won't.
(Basically it's almost a popularity contest - I fill it out, send in proof of my new car, and they "think about it." I mean WTF? I just want to know if this is for the NEXT YEAR, in which case it is WORTH IT, since I have to do the new car anyway. Of course, if I just pay this one, and they never catch up I might save myself a couple of hundred. Til I go to renew my license and they decide I'm In arrears. Fuck that noise, right in the ear.)
Jeez! What the hell was in that Chinese food I had for dinner! I'm all wired n'shit!
EDIT - Oh for fuck's sake
From the Comm of MA website:
If Your Motor Vehicle is Traded
If an excise bill is received for a vehicle which was traded and which was not owned in the calendar year stated on the bill, it is recommended to pay the bill and then file an application for abatement with the Board of Assessors. The application must accompany a copy of the registration for the new vehicle indicating the date of transfer.
If an excise bill is received for a vehicle which was traded but which was owned for a portion of the calendar year stated on the bill, it is necessary to pay the bill and then provide a copy of the registration for the new vehicle which indicates the date of transfer together with an application for abatement to the Board of Assessors. The board can then adjust the bill to reflect the ownership for only part of the year, and grant the proper abatement. The bill on the trade-in vehicle is prorated back to the last day of the month prior to the one in which the vehicle’s registration was cancelled and the excise bill on the new vehicle will be prorated as of the beginning of the month in which the vehicle was registered.
You know, I understand tax law. I understand the instructions for the form 1040, and can prepare them cold. Hell, I can prepare New York, Massachusetts and California tax returns with minimum of research.
BUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS PISS ME OFF!'
Blah blah blah prorated blah blah blah bend over blah blah blah no lube blah blah.
Jeebus. I'm resentful I have to write a check. AND use two stamps. Stupid fucks.
