Tax

My publishing business is so unsuccessful, I've been giving the option of filing Sales Tax returns on an annual basis, instead of having to do so every few months. (Actually, that both is and isn't true. Most sales I make are to booksellers and distributors rather than to consumers, so I don't tend to collect much in the way of tax.)

I'm excited at this prospect, and the associated reduction in paperwork I'll have to attend to. I once missed a deadline (the paperwork had been delayed in the mail), and had to fight to reverse a $50 late fee in a quarter when I had collected no tax, and owed nothing.
