[Margaret Pilkington]

The difference between your (and my) taxation is that HMRC get their hands on their cut before we even get a sniff of our money....with big business the shyster accountants and lawyers get to dabble in the affairs before any business coughs up any dosh.
They get the chance to manipulate and massage the figures to reduce their tax responsibility.
So little flies get caught while the big boys break through.
HMRC admitted as much very recently.
