I just wish I could remember WHO I stole it from though !!


V.A.T men are the branch of the Excise who chase up Value Added Tax problems - V A T replaced Purchse Tax when we started the procedure to join up with Europe !

I thought that was funny. However, I am going to be a bit pedantic here. There is no such thing as a "tax rebate" - contrary to mythology. Tax "refunds" or the Revenue's preferred term "repayment" (happily) both occur. A quick reference to your dictionary will explain everything!
I'll pinch that song off you though, Leadfingers!
