7 - Blue Tax Assessment

= belastingaanslag

In the Netherlands the annual tax assessment comes in a typical blue envelope.

1,2,3,4,1,2

Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s one for you, nineteen for me,
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah yeah, I’m the Taxman.


(The Beatles)

Yeah, just got all mine and I don't even want to do it because I owe a ton this year! Guess I'll be requesting a pay monthly type of thing!

An unwelcome sight I'm sure.

At least they soften the blow with a soothing blue envelope :)

Good macro, even though it's not a happy subject.

blue tells a message for sure

Yikes, a blue letter is always bad. Reminds me of the song "Blue Letter" by Fleetwood Mac.

That is a bitter blue to swallow in this blue economy.

Good shot, horrible subject.
Richard Chapman07-Feb-2009 09:06
I hope it was not too much of a shock when you opened it...

Nice job of making an envelope look interesting! Very shallow DOF as well as the torn edges makes it interesting. We got taxes due April 15th.... I will be working on my this weekend...ugh!

Nice shot, and sympathies for the contents ;) Simple, but nicely composed.

I've had a letter from our tax people this week also but it came in a white envelope. Looks like you opened this one in a hurry! :)
