Uhh yah! You can say THAT again! A few years after I stopped being an Osek Murshe and closed my files (all done through a trusty CPA), Mas Hachnasa called me up to explain how come I reported only half of my income. When I came to second meeting with my CPA it turned out that the stupid paper-pusher in Mas Hachnasa doesn't know how to read VAT and Income reports added them together to get a total of twice my reported income. With a CPA next to me who could tell the schmuck exactly that and scare him a bit because his ex-boss is now a client of my CPA I got out of there unscathed. Sheeeshhhhh. :-) (*wiping the sweat from my forehead*) I lost all respect to Mas Hachnasa after that (and I DID have some respect to their work until then). --Amos "When the shit hits the fan - make sure you tape it" ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
