Ah come on, that only affects the poor buggers that are mortgaged up to the eyeballs and running scared.
Its a "volutary" self registration scheme to pay a bit of money while the pillocks try and get themselves together to make a database of people who have registered so they can work out how much to take off them.

I wouldn't have a problem with that tax if wasn't for something I had already been stung for.
But hey I am all for giving the govt. a break I ain't yet joining the crowd succesfully suing the government for their money back

Cameron has announced that he will clamp down on illegal "donations" to the party to draw a line under the continuing flood of allegations of corruption....
if someone will give him a quarter of a million as a bribe to do so.:woot:
