I am not worried about paying taxes - it means, usually, that a person is making loads of profits. However, I don't want to casually become a trader or anything silly like that, by blunder. Tax is so complicated that one needs to try to understand at least the basics, which is impossible - even the experts get things wrong, as our accountant did with two major things, despite supposedly being expert in the field of tax. Judges reverse each other and taxpayers are supposed to understand all that which the experts can't and pay big penalties if they mistakenly get things wrong. It's a completely absurdly rort system and the money is poured down the drain. If they did something useful with the money, such as building dams, bridges, and useful things, rather than funding bludgers and criminals, the community would do a lot better and taxes could be much, much lower. The sensible spend in NZ is down to about 1 dollar in 5 now, I guess. "Health", "education" and welfare are where the money mainly goes, and those are largely wasted spendings if not actively negative in their effect. Mqurice
