Saving £5000 tax a year - Is it a lie

Anyone heard of http://www.working-from-home-today.co.uk/

They are selling a book that contains tips about saving about £5000 a year... looks exaggeration to me...

    Yes it is a scam - "save an average of £5,000 a year :rotfl: Most people don't even pay much over £5,000 a year in tax - for this claim to be true the average reader would either (a) end up paying almost no tax at all (and if this was possible then everyone would be doing it and this book would be a bestseller not just put up on a dubious looking website) or (b) very very rich already.

    In all the junk emails I've seen it's 5000 dollars not quids...

    A foolproof way to save tax is to pack in working, then you'd also save a fortune in VAT and petrol tax as you wouldn't be able to buy much - you could easily get up to £5k saving using this method (when do I get my tenner?).
