I do wonder sometimes if it pays to be in any way honest. What is the point, one only ends up getting s...... but meanwhile the bigger the crook, swindler, cheat, tax dodger they more leeway, concession, write offs. Will anything every change in Ireland. It is exceedingly depressing.
There is another post on here (now closed) whereby a house owner asked a perfectly legitimate question, if in massive negative equity and one loses one's job is it better to hit the high seas and I actually think one is better off.
If I so much as genuinely mistakenly make an incorrect tax return say 15 years ago revenue are going to throw the book at me, there will be no little known tax rule in the book to help me nor will revenue point it out to me.
Where I am one of the really big accountancy firms that do our returns have told us by email that the equivelent of the revenue in Ireland have made a mistake in our favour and that we should ignore it as it's revenue error and if we get to December 2010 that is the end of the matter. Food for thought.
