HM Revenue & Customs have decided to offer a "disclosure opportunity" to those engaged in the plumbing and heating business. I have been asked recently why the government would do this!

This is a question that has come up several times recently. Now the 20% rate has been with us for a while...

Can you answer yes to any of these questions...

* Are you looking for a slightly off the wall view of your business?
* Do you feel your accountant talks to you in double-dutch?
* Not getting the service you feel you are entitled to?
* Find a different person dealing with your affairs every few months?
* Can't get a quick answer when you need it?
