As the president of the CBI remarked of the agitation over taxes, "If you want different results, you have to have a different set of rules."
In thinking about these rules, politicians, and others concerned about the taxes companies pay, should remember the advice of two politicians of earlier generations. When he was chancellor of the exchequer, Nigel Lawson said that taxes should be "low, simple, and compulsory". Tax competition helps keep taxes low. If politicians want taxes to yield what they expect – want them to be compulsory – they should keep them simple, not make them so complex that the result is a surprise.

So says them man on a monthly wage (and I can understand why)
But those of us who are self employed, each pound paid to the tax man is a pound less in our pocket.......and when we look at the hard work we have put in to earn that pound(and consider the people who we employ and also pay wages to through our efforts), we think 'screw the tax man, we're going to give him only what he is
legally entitled to claw from us'
