A FRUSTRATED woman has gone on a furious rant and has accused HMRC of “robbing” her.
After her “back-breaking graft,” Schannan, who described herself as an “unhinged and unapologetic mother” expressed her anger at “hard working people” being “hit the hardest.”

Posting on social media, the fuming woman, who is believed to work for the NHS, sat in her car after a long day at work and voiced her irritation at paying tax.
The self-proclaimed “working class hero,” from Wolverhampton, said: “HMRC take your f*****g balaclavas off.
“You’ve robbed me and I know it’s you because it says it on my PAYE.”
The mum-of-two then wondered why she bothers working so hard for such little reward.

She questioned: “Now what is the mother******g point? Why are you taking that much money off me?
Not only this, but the content creator, who uploaded her clip online alongside the hashtag #BrokenBritain and #HighTax, admitted that financially, she is “barely hanging on.”
Admitting to feeling as though she is “drowning,” Schannan continued: “I’m out here bucking my back to make all that money.
“You’re just cashing in off my graft, you’re taking the p**s, d*******s.”
Schannan’s TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @schannan2 just three days ago, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 52,700 views.
Not only this, but it’s also amassed 2,532 likes and 256 comments.
And it was clear that Schannan was not the only user to be frustrated with having to pay tax, as many users eagerly raced to the comments to express their thoughts.
One person said: “Tell me about it. When you think doing loads of overtime will help clear debts quicker, only to find £980 gone to HMRC. No point doing the overtime.”

Another added: “I refuse to look at my pay slips any more, It’s so depressing.”
A third commented: “Never a truer word said! Absolute joke. Barely getting by even when you spend 40 hours a week at work.”
When does the tax year start and end?
Tax years run differently to the standard January to December year
Instead, it runs mid-year from April to April.
Many other countries around the world have tax years that run with the calendar year.
In Ireland, the US, France and Germany for example, it starts on January 1 and ends on December 31.
But in the UK for historical reasons, our tax year starts and finishes mid-way through.
The 2023-2024 tax year starts on April 6, 2023, and ends on April 5, 2024.
The 2024-2025 tax year runs from April 6, 2024, to April 5, 2025.
Not only this, but one user sighed: “Exactly, I feel like a mouse in a wheel just going round and round going nowhere.”
To this, Schannan responded and penned: “Exactly how I feel.”
At the same time, one person posted: “Better off on UC [Universal Credit] now in this world.”
