Tax OXP?

Damn !
Reading this topic is like when in a film they smoke and smoke and smoke cigarettes ....

Now I had to open the next bag of "Nimm 2 Lachgummi" - t'was on special offer a while ago and I bought 5 bags. If you lot go on like this, they won't last as long as I planned.

I used to work with someone who used to work in the Irish tax office. She told me that the Irish Inland Revenue had an unofficial "flash car" policy. Anyone who bought a car that was on a short list of "flash" motors – BMWs, Porsches, Ferraris, etc. – was audited, on he pure gut instinct that people who drove such vehicles probably fiddled their taxes. Although wholly unscientific, it did, apparently, have a 90% success rate at catching tax dodgers.

Interesting. I worked with an ex-auditor who used to visit the various office of his corporation and ask for the car park list. He would wander round the car park noting the flash cars and only bother auditing the teams run by or containing the owners of such cars. He said he had learned people on the fiddle were incapable of not showing off their relative wealth.

This does not surprise me in the least!
