TWO items of news caught my eye recently which should be of great interest to the public.
WikiLeaks has acquired the names of people and companies guilty of tax evasion via banks in Switzerland.
We wait with bated breath to hear the outcome.
On the sporting front, it is alleged that many obscenelypaid footballers only pay two per cent tax due to a loophole in the tax laws.
Surely this cannot be allowed to continue when working people pay 30 per cent-plus in tax?
Would someone from the Inland Revenue care to comment?
