Tax returns - tax deductible

A while ago I posted on the fact that accountancy charges for tax returns should be tax deductible, i.e. you pay for them from the tax you have already paid.

The reasoning was that it would provide a motivation to make taxes simpler.

It turns out that MPs already are "piloting" this scheme, charging their tax affairs to the expense budget.

Shame we had to find out about it through a freedom of information request!
