My fear is that if a group of us turned up and muscled in ont their pitches, it'd be them doing the killing :shock:

It says 'fortune tellers and witches'. So it doesn't matter if your earnings are from fortune telling. You could be a witch that works as an IT consultant, but they wouldn't tax you out of fear that you'd curse them.

So, it's pretty much the same as the situation we have over here, where politicians drop an investigation into phone tapping because one of the red top tabloid rags threatens to dig up dirt on the lot of them if they continue...

ooh, it also means that you just have to claim to be into Wicca to avoid tax. it's a bit like claiming to be gay to avoid national service. How do you prove otherwise? And with fear being the way it is, the cowards wouldn't investigate too deeply either.

Ooh, I'm not into Wicca, but I'm an occultist. Should I enclose a threatening note with my next tax return?

Actually, given the mess that's hitting the headlines lately, I think somebody's already cursed them.

I don't like those marks it leaves on the back of your legs in summer when you wear shorts.

If you're unfortunate enough to get one of the reported six million letters from the Inland Revenue the I wonder if this excuse would work in the UK? :lol:

After months of hastling and even cancelling their wedding reception due to lack of funds, my brother and his wife FINALLY got the rebate cheque from the tax office. They have been waiting for it for 3 months. It was deposited in the bank this morning.....


IT BOUNCED!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The bank claim there were 'insuffient funds' in the account! a tax rebate less than 2 grand......

Romania might be backing off from their witches, but Russia's having a crackdown:

It will be illegal (and rightly so) to advertise yourself as a magical or faith-based healer.
