I'm the taxman

The Taxation lot have done a good job on the Fifth Beatle, here. I have to confess I didn't know much about 1960s tax rules.

I'm more familiar with the song 'I'm the taxman'. My questions for you today are: is it the most famous song about tax ever, and are there any better ones?

And does Dave Hartnett play it to himself when he's feeling down?

Alex,

Thanks very much for the mentions of the Taxation blog.

Here's a similarly song-related entry of ours:

And no, there's nothing more famous that The Beatles' "Taxman" - although "Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks is a good second.

I tend to agree with him, but do not feel I have enough experience to speak clearly on this dicussion. I hope to hear further discussion on this going forward.

It's my favourite band, I enjoy almost everything these people make so far, but the earliest material is still some of the greatest songs for me

Personally I don't quite agree with this, but it's still a worthwhile topic and worth dealing with.

Considerably, the post is really the greatest on that worthy topic. I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your future updates. Simply saying thanks definitely will not just be sufficient, for the fantasti c clarity in your writing. I will certainly right away grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any kind of updates. Genuine work and also much success in your business dealings!
