One thing is sure in life…death and taxes. So the saying goes and it seems many people will go to extreme lengths to avoid paying this necessary evil in life. But be warned…the tax man is on to you!

Tax inspectors have been given wideranging new powers to bug people’s homes and private phone calls. They also have the go-ahead to intercept emails and plant listening devices in suspects’ cars and offices.  Revenue officers used to work to a set of strict rules that even banned them from looking in cupboards at a home or business during a visit without express permission.  But now officials investigating allegations of tax evasion can pry into every aspect of a suspect’s life in the hunt for evidence.

But we have always known that with regards to inland revenue one is always guilty until proven innocent…maybe it would pay certain MP’s and their spouses to pay heed to these laws - what’s good for us is good for them!

Just to be safe though…make sure your tax details are right up to date.
