Income Tax Loophole Discussion

Oh that was a good one. I knew it was an April Fool the second I saw the link in the email, but just had to come on to check how it was written - genius!!!

Not taken in but not impressed all the same.
This is supposedly a factual supportive website, so why does that get dropped when it is just another day in a calendar which has a nonsensical and pointless label added to it.
I'm concerned about those who are losing or have lost their jobs recently who may have clicked on it thinking they may have found something that could get them through it all for a bit longer.
Go ahead and flame me but to me April Fools' is only a joke if you're 5 years old, and 'jokes' like this shouldn't be part of a grown up world. If you want to laugh, go watch a comedian.

:rotfl:Very good! :T Ignore beeka above, it's all factually correct and nobody is going to be misled by this. I was completely had, and then I got my girlfriend with it too!

*bows down to the evil creative genius of Martin and the MSE team and remains on floor, rolling around laughing, while thinking "if only"*

It's a shame you feel this way. Unless you live in a box on April 1st, you will here lots of adults fooling other adults, "celebrating" this day. GM TV do it, the BBC have done many in the past..... did you see the flying penguins? What about smell-o-vision? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day

It is of course a shame that people have lost their jobs.... but maybe that can claim back some tax? :money:

In my opinion, Martin my very careful in how he wrote it. I looked at it but, only working part time and earning less then the threshold, I knew I wouldn't pay any Tax this year anyway. This did however remind me that I've got some tax to claim back since I did some summer temp. work and got heavily taxed.

Matin: A little bit mean maybe (but so is April Fools day in general) but at the same time useful and funny! Well done and thanks for the giggle!!! :rotfl:
