About this blog

This new blog will provide (occasionally witty) commentary on any UK tax stories in the news. The tax burden has been rising steadily for a while, and we thought it would be a good idea to talk about it. Well, there isn't much else we can do about it at the moment. This blog will also trawl the choppy waters of UK tax policy to bring you news of any stealth taxes. As this is a gobbledegook-free zone, our articles will be presented in friendly, non-technical language. Above all, we shall try to have fun. Believe me, this is possible.

This blog is written by The Fisherman, a tax adviser with many years' experience dealing with the finer points of tax legislation. When not reading and writing about tax, The Fisherman spends any free time down at the wharf.
