Editor's Note
=============
As the unofficial election campaign turns nasty, TaxZone gears up for next week's Budget, which coincides with the High Court hearing of the 'Arctic Systems' appeal. Two news items last week reminded us of the potential impact of cross-border tax evasion, with one convicted VAT fraudster reported to have walked out of prison and left the country.
