totally agree , so many bury their heads in the sand instead of listening to the facts, I have British run accountancy firm looking sfter my tax affairs and Jan 24 it changed, people don't need to panic just need to find out the facts and budget accordingly and provision for tax after they find out what they would need to pay.
