    Time to move your money from overseas accounts

    HMRC can barely disguise its glee at the legal victory it won at a hearing before the Special Commissioners in February.

    So let me see if I got this right...the HMRC won a case it brought in front of its own employees. Anyone see the problem here?

    Maybe some of you supposedly high paid contractors should start to get a bit worried eh

    Oh dear.

    In fact (as it says in the article) the European Savings Directive already means withholding tax is deducted.

    Does anyone know of an offshore account which is still anonymous - it's just that a mate was interested ....

      I "hear" that the British Virgin Islands & Pananama are still options.

        Should that be Pananananama?

                Keren Woodward.....hmmmmmm........nice lass.

                I had the honour of making her numerous cups of tea when she recorded at a local music studio back in 1986, and I was learning to be a sound engineer.

                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
