Don’t rely on the tax man’s answers

A recent study of answers given by the Taxman to taxpayer telephone queries showed that the correct and full answer was only given 53% of the time!

The Taxman is not totally responsible for misinformation he gives out; e.g. he may not have all relevant background information to your situation. Hence, whilst it can be helpful to ask simple questions of the Taxman we would recommend asking your own accountant any complex queries.
