We're here to help


No, not the latest in inappropriate slogans from the PR types at HM Revenue & Customs (in passing, does anyone else reading the recent HMRC job adverts wonder over why HMRC needs to be employing marketing managers ?).

Rather, it is the title of the new film depicting the true story of Dave Henderson in New Zealand. Dave got picked on by the NZ Revenue, which hounded him in the courts for a spurious tax bill and sought to make him bankrupt. Undeterred, Dave took on the Revenue and won.

Hooray for Dave; it's always nice of read of the little guy standing up to the taxman. But what makes our man special compared to the other Davids prepared to take on the Goliath of the taxman ?

Well, Dave then bought the building used by the Revenue, evicted them and turned the building into a hotel. Nice touch.
