Wouldn't it be nice if we could all persuade our accountant to save us money. To not send in our full accounts but make up some abbreviated ones! What's the point of becoming a chartered accountant if you don't have to follow an ethical code of practice? Successfulness should not have to rely on dodgy lawyers, bankers, and accountants... but it does.
Have you visited the BVI's lately? I think you will find its not the minority that keep their very large offshore accounts there. Its corruption on a massive scale and we, the minions who earn mediocre salaries as well as the natives who live on these tax haven islands, suffer as a direct result of that corruption.
