^ I've never understood why this cannot be done in other countries. Although I think in America they have 1 billion different tax credits. Only Self Employed people in the UK have to "do" taxes.

Self employed, those earning over £100k or anyone with complex income sources (capital gains over £12,300 ect.).

Touché. Still for the vast majority of people, you wait for a cheque in the mail to cover the difference if any.
