Accomodation for Rebecca

Thanks bro!

The funny thing is that the 8% tax (it's not 3% - yet. Working on it tho'

) scheme is legal (well, still legal as we speak). It's the one I was on last year. But with this retroactivity, I may be chased?! I have nothing to risk (it's all out of the country) but something in me tells me it's grossly unfair! And not just for me, but for other users of the scheme, which was legal when it was used!

So are we talking about this EBT ruling ... or something else?

I think you'll find that's irrelevant. If the IR decide you owe them money they will expect you to bring it back in. And charge you interest while they are waiting.

Just leg it, our tax lot will never catch up with you !

There are only two options.
1) Bottle of Jack, hose from the exhaust to the car interior, Joy Division on the radio, wait for sweet oblivion to kiss away the tears.
2) New life in a cabin in Siberia. Marry Svetlana, hunt rabbits, pray to God for forgiveness each night.

Gromit, it is relevant. I can fly off and the IR cannot touch my stuff
Yes it was the EBT
Oh well
New scheme in place now, even better if anything. I am just peeved at that backdating thing. Grossly unfair IMO

Let's face it. Rebecca is the new-zealand version of Ned Kelly.
