You know, the bit the government takes away from you, so it can waste on things you wouldn't have freely chosen to spend it on

Not yet, I'm really lucky and I get to play Fun With Taxes in the UK and in the US.
The UK return is easy, I'm used to doing those. But the rules are different in the US and the instructions run to hundreds of pages. It's a whole lot of fun keeping accounts where the same information is stored in three different formats to satisfy different tax regimes. I wouldn't mind so much if I was running an international multibillion dollar industry but when I'm just a more or less regular guy trying to make a living it gets really tedious.

In the US things work on a calendar year and federal taxes are due by mid-April.
In the UK the financial year runs 6 April - 5 April and the taxes are due by the following January. So as of 6 April 2016 the 2015-16 tax year ends but I don't have to file my return and any taxes due by 31 January 2017. For those prone to leave things until the last minute it can be tricky remembering just what happened in what year.
