[TheBarCapBoyz]

It doesn't sound like our usual chaps from Barclays Capital.

I wonder if the account has been "borrowed" by someone else.

Bollocks DR, we were being ironic. (We thought it was obvious, I mean come on, a gang from Barclays Capital accusing someone of being greedy and selfish, you couldn't make it up)

Sorry if we offended anyone.

Actually we aren't.

Doh!

Here is something interesting

Seems like a great idea if it is done right. Think HMRC would ever consider using it?

Do you think we would be in the position we are now if the HMRC had consulted with the us instead of bringing in the Draconian IR35 rules forcing most of us into the DTA arrangement?

Wikipedia

Can't beleive we have gone this long without creating a Wikipedia article, so I have started one, once we have a decent enough article, I will move it to a 'proper' page as opposed to on my user space.
