Tax his land, tax his wage, tax the bed is which he lays
Tax his tractor, tax his mule, teach him taxes is the rule
Tax his cow, tax his goat, tax his pants, tax his coat
Tax his ties, tax his shirts, tax his work, tax his dirt
Tax his tobacco, tax his drink, tax him if he tries to think
Tax his booze, tax his beers, if he cries, tax his tears
Tax his bills, tax his gas, tax his notes, tax his cash
Tax him good and let him know that after taxes he has no dough
If he hollers, tax him more, tax him ’til he’s good and sore
Tax his coffin, tax his grave, tax the sod in which he lays
Put these words upon his tomb, ‘Taxes drove me to my doom’
And when he’s gone we won’t relax
We’ll still be after the inheritance tax !

With the Spring Budget due on Wednesday, there are all sorts of predictions about including tax rises as well as extensions to the Job Retention Scheme and stamp duty holiday.
I’ll be on hand to update you further later in the week but in the meantime, if you or anyone you know needs help with their tax affairs let them know that I can help and that the first meeting is free.
