"Post for you." Ianto dropped an envelope on Jack's desk.
"It's them. The Inland Revenue." Jack backed away from his desk, pointing at the topmost envelope - On Her Majesty's Service printed across the top. "A few years ago they demanded 120 years back taxes. Apparently they'd had a whole team dedicated to calculating how much I owed. Nearly bankrupted me."
"It's okay. I set us up for PAYE. Pay As You Earn. The tax is paid before we get our wages."
"And the £60 refund cheque?" Jack gleefully waved the envelopes' contents.
Ianto shrugged. "Thank you for saving the world?"
