A system supposedly to avoid double taxation, has become a tax deferral system for the privileged. Company tax has become a withholding tax to be refunded later.

Lies, damn lies and budgets

A new year provides the opportunity to start with a clean slate. Health Minister Ferguson missed his chance.

Whilst not an outright lie, the claim nevertheless fits comfortably into the broader category of a Trumpian untruth.
