Evil taxman shock rocks free press
Article Abstract:
Journalists in the UK have traditionally enjoyed a number of tax-free benefits, such as free gifts or even free holidays. This is particularly the case if they work in areas such as travel, food and leisure. However, this may come to an end as the Inland Revenue introduces regulations which will oblige all employees to declare all the items they receive from companies other than their own. Some free items are necessary for the production of a publication, but others are now acknowledged to be no more than bribes.
