Britons Never Will be Slaves...but Will Always be Taxpayers

If you have any ties to the UK and are (or thought you were) playing the non-res game, go see your UK tax adviser.

[Edit: and should you be caught of the wrong side of the tax law, you will be a poster boy for the HMRC under their new name & shame campaign: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/5cd320c8-26e4-11df-8c08-00144feabdc0.html]
