Tax Advice to become a crime

[An Oasis]

Thanks to the Stasi state that we now live in, you could be in deep dodos for giving out financial advice.
…Have you ever suggested an ISA might be a good investment, helped an elderly relative reclaim overpaid tax, or been encouraged to use gift aid? This sort of advice could soon cost you £1,500 or more…

Ooops poor old financial advisors going to the pockey along with anyone else who is still able to work in the UK. Me I'm packing it all in, signing up for sheltered housing and developing a taste for super strength beer.:|

You dont need sheltered housing, just find a park bench and some old newspapers, or a bit of cardboard :)

but why a park bench ? If he ahs children, I am sure he could claim his free for nothing 5 bed detached in a leafy suburb.
