    OK, this should be good.

    How do you 'mitigate' it? What's the saving? You must be claiming one heck of a saving if you're charging 40% of the duty payable.....

    Well there's a thing! A passing newbie appears with a query about some tax-saving dodge and like magic another appears who can carry this out for you. Funny old world.

    The board rules are such that promoting of your own services are not allowed.

    That way people get impartial advice from people who are helping others without expecting financial remuneration in return.

    Allow people to promote their tawdry services and it changes from a board where people can seek guidance to a list of topics with no replies and lots of links
