<b>VIENNA: A 22-year-old Austrian had the shock of his life when he received a tax bill for more than 29 million euros ($38 million) ,  a newspaper reported Wednesday.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Agadir B. told the Heute daily he got the bill after filing his tax return for 2008, when he earned around 600 euros a month as a trainee, with the demand that he paid on percent -- 290,420.13 euros -- </b><br />
<b>

''I completely flipped out, '' he said. '' My mum nearly had a nervous breakdown.''<br />
<br />
His mother even phoned the tax office to query the bill and was told: ''You don't have a discussion at the checkout at Billa (a supermarket chain), you just pay,'' he said.<br />
<br />
However, a second letter later came through from the tax office, declaring the first one void and apologising for the ''technical error,'' the paper said. (AFP)<br />
