War or peace - Ed McLachlin

Every year the Inland Revenue send out 9 million tax forms. Every year, they start an inquiry on ten per cent (that's 900,000 people). This is extremely time-consuming and - of course - worrying. Scary even. But in concise, witty and straightforward form, help is now at hand with this book. The Inland Revenue has gone to great lengths recently to present itself as being consumer friendly, but when you are at war with them - or even in a skirmish - they seem to have all the heavy weapons and you can feel very exposed. It normally all begins with an innocuous letter - an inquiry but it can quickly spin out of control as they decide to check on your expenses, or your car mileage, or your entertaining. This is the first book to give help to a worry that besets nearly one million people a year. The whole process of the Inland Revenue inquiry is explained with numerous tips on how best to proceed and what to do (and not do). This short book, deftly written with wit and humour could save a great deal of time, misery and money.
