Following the success of the first edition, a new edition for 2002. A witty approach to a serious subject. How to avoid getting into hot water with the inland revenue and what to do if you are already up to your neck in it. Important and helpful advice illustrated with 40-50 cartoons by Michael Heath. When does tax avoidance become tax evasion? What is the SCO and when does it act? What are its powers and what do you do if you find yourself the subject of an investigation? Problems resulting from tax blunders aren't new and responsibility for detecting and preventing fraud now falls heavily on the accounting profession. In this lively book senior tax experts from top accountants, BDO Stoy Hayward, provide essential tax advice. Ignorance is no defence. This book lays out the major potential stumbling blocks and explains how they can be avoided.
