I saved some tax!

in Cutting tax
I've just come across an ingenious way of saving myself tax on my earnings. Massively undercharge a client for a tax return who prepared their own books! Less revenue = less tax! ;)

(Thanks to those who suggested in earlier threads to only take on clients whose books you maintain themselves. Lesson learnt!)

    And there was me thinking that accountants were known for their sense of humour? ;)

    I suppose it depends who you compare it to, maybe against a tax inspector...
