Playing with Players by Chris Stock Pdf

“Every man is entitled, if he can, to order his affairs so that the tax attaching under the appropriate Acts is less than it would otherwise be. If he succeeds in ordering them so as to secure this result, then, however unappreciative the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or his fellow taxpayers may be of his ingenuity, he cannot be compelled to pay an increased tax.” With these words, judge Lord Tomlin absolved the Duke of Westminster of any wrongdoing in the 1936 landmark tax avoidance case Inland Revenue Commissioners v. Duke of Westminster—and seemingly dared countless others to likewise find creative ways of reducing their owed tax. But what does this mean for Jack, a tax auditor tasked with enforcing compliance by uncovering unregulated tax avoidance schemes and exploited loopholes? How does the ever-evolving nature of complex tax law manifest itself in Jack’s life and the lives of those he encounters? Jack’s story is immortalized by Alice, an escort and single mother with whom he develops a close bond, in her memoirs recounting their relationship and everything she learned from their time together. Jack’s career is filled with intrigue, confrontation, sex, isolation, and even violence at the hands of those who believe they’re above the law. And yet, in the midst of it all, his life is full of little miracles found in unexpected places.

The Midnight Folk by John Masefield Pdf

The Midnight Folk introduces readers to Kay Harker, the orphaned boy who is also the hero of John Masefield’s classic Christmas fantasy, The Box of Delights. Kay lives in a vast old country house, and is looked after by an unpleasant duo: the oily and egregious Sir Theopompous and the petulant and punitive Sylvia Daisy Pouncer. In her zeal to educate Kay on the finer points of Latin grammar, Sylvia Daisy has even taken away all of Kay’s toys. Life seems very dull, until out of an old family portrait steps Kay’s great-grandfather, a sea captain, who, if legend is to be believed, made off with a fabulous treasure. Soon Kay is engaged in a thrilling quest that begins each night as the clock strikes twelve, taking him into the enchanted and dangerous world of the Midnight Folk: pirates, highwaymen, talking animals, and a gang of witches led by none other than Sylvia Daisy (in cahoots, as in The Box of Delights, with the arch-villain Abner Brown). In the end, it is that ragtag team of old toys that rallies to support Kay and save the day. A book to set beside C.S. Lewis’s Narnia tales and Joan Aiken’s Wolves of Willoughby Chase—not to mention the Harry Potter series—The Midnight Folk is a wonderful and enthralling contribution to the great English tradition of children’s literature, beloved by adults and children alike.
