They don&#8217;t really need to be done until much later in the year, since the deadline is the end of January for filing, but I always say that I&#8217;m going to sort them out at the end of April once all the figures are in, and invariably get distracted and have to be reminded.<\/p>\n<p>A decent profit was made this year, despite my best efforts to hide it with last minute devkit and hardware purchases, so our money-grubbing government will take a slice of it this year (boo, hiss).
