Definition

a (income-)tax return: a declaration (of one's income or revenues) made in order to find out how much tax one must pay noun

Examples

  • "We have received your planet's tax return, and confirm it has been completed correctly."
  • "Icarus : But this is good – this is the first tax return I've filled out in 500 years!"
  • "Subject: tax return"
  • "Please find attached the earth's tax return."
  • "Future Man : Fill in our tax return."
Exercise 1
The Future Man wants Icarus' help to:
The Future Man wants Icarus' help to:
This is the right answer. The Future Man says "Fill in our tax return" to Icarus. To "fill in" (UK) or "fill out" (US) a form is to complete it, entering the appropriate information. A tax return is a declaration of the tax you need to pay. According to the Future Man, if the "Intergalactic Tax Office" doesn't receive the tax return by midnight, the planet Earth will be destroyed!
This is not the best choice here. The Future Man does not talk about finding an illegal or semi-illegal way to avoid paying tax!
This is not the best choice here. The Future Man does not suggest that he will be unable to pay his taxes without Icarus' help in finding the money.
This is not the best choice here. The Future Man does not ask Icarus to collect taxes from the people of the Earth.
