£25k outstanding - that means between revenue of between £120,000 and £145,000.

Not easy to miss :eek:

Where's the story :wonder:

His accountants fcuked up, he owned up, and he paid up. Not exactly what I'd call dishonest behaviour :thumb:

Agree with CrisPDik.

the mistake was spotted by his personal accountants in January while his tax return for the previous financial year was being finalised.

It says the mistake was spotted by his accountants so not made by them.:) it is easy to see how another 150k of earning could be missed as after all it is just pocket change;)

Who do you think was doing the Tax return Paul :rolleyes:

You don't have a dog and bark yourself.

Seems our Vince really does need some accounting help though. Guido says ... http://order-order.com/2011/10/26/fo...bles-expenses/ ...


A look at Vince’s parliamentary expenses claims from the last few years show a trail of financial mismanagement. His claims are littered with with late fees, reminder letters and overdue notices. His electricity supplier, British Gas and BT have all sent letters stating their intention to disconnect him for non-payment. It appears he also thought it appropriate to charge the taxpayer for £240 of fines for not paying his fees on time. By Guido’s count there were nineteen late notices or threats in 05-06, thirteen in 06-07, and eight in 07-08. Were these honest mistakes too, or complete incompetence?
And he's business secretary .... :Suspiciou :brickwall

Just seen comment #78 (near the top) after Guido's piece ...


John Vincent Cable, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences – you will go to prison for five years!
Seems about right.

Dave
