[Margaret Pilkington]

One of the politicians recently said that Tax evasion was as bad as benefit fraud....and I agree.......there is the 'legal' sort...you know, the one where you pay an accountant to find all the possible loopholes, and then there is the illegal sort........there should be no difference in either kind.

I do not get a chance to get away with screwing the taxman, because they take my money before I have even clapped eyes on it........and yet if HMRC decide that they have miscalculated they can still sting me for what they think I owe, plus interest.

It seems to me that there are lots and lots of problems which need sorting out, but Taxation and benefits come top of the list.......but have they(the government) got the cojones to tackle problems which would ultimately make them unpopular?

Answers on a postcard......I don't think you would need more space than that.
