Re: Has anyone heard of toggles?

There was a scheme in Hyndburn a few years ago, don't know what happened or if it's still running and I can't for the life of me remember what it was called but I do remember somebody saying that you should declare any acts done for you on your income tax return which seemed a bit barmy. The government was having a huffy that it wasn't getting enough tax because people were doing things for acts or goods in return rather than for wages.

The scheme had a sort of pseudo currency and an accounts system so that if you "earned" thingies by doing something for someone then they didn't necessarily have to be the ones who repaid you, you could use your tokens to "pay" someone else within the scheme for something that they had which you needed.

Somewhere along the way I loaned out a sewing machine and lost track of it. I opted out when there was all this talk of it being defrauding the Inland Revenue.
