    Benn in Telegraph

    I see he wasn't as white as white or as good at hiding it as it seemed as I see he is in the Telegraph  today after using taxpayers money to pay for his accountant to go over his personal accounts to see how much tax he owed and how much he could get away with paying.

    BBC Radio Five carried a quick quotation from one of the other Ministers using the same accountants. The BBC reporter said that the cost was only £30 per Minister. What is the name and phone number of the accountant who will charge £30 for a tax computation and relevant advice.

    I bet Jacobus can tell us if this report sounds realistic?

     Don't forget that a lot then charge for insurance to cover it if  the taxman wants to go through your accounts as well.

    How I read it the Inland Revenue does not allow the cost of Tax Advice as a deductable Expense so I wonder if he used the the Invoice as a Deduction in his Annual Return.Of course in the Rogues have as much as I can at the Trough Club nothing is barred except owning up to anything and paying for that action.
