Tax Reasons...

It has come to my attention that almost every question can be answered comprehensibly by the answer "Tax reasons". If someone were to put the question "Why is there a moose in your cupboard?" (heaven forbid as there is actually a moose, a panther, three polish priests and a single cupcake in preparation for an elaborate practical joke and if you think THAT'S strange you should see what's in my bottom drawer) but if someone were to ask then I would reply "For tax reasons" with a knowing look and a touch of the nose. That person would say no more even though they would have no idea how a moose would relieve me of any tax burdens but they would imagine that it does in some way shape or form.

For you see, the subject of tax is such a proverbial jungle no-one really knows who can claim what, when or where. All you can do is lie your way through, avoid difficult questions and generally make yourself look very clever by appearing as if you have outwitted the system.
