    Ask everyone else if their butler is also called jeeves.

        Have a screen saver that counts up how much you've earned while you were having a dump.

          If you work abroad for a few months, don't register for tax there; you'll be back home before they notice.

                  Don't bother with an accountant, they're expensive and unnecessary.

                    No no no. Do NOT register for VAT, that's only for big companies.
