It is getting to the stage where you can actually imagine the accountants in the department of finance sitting down and deciding that from 2000 to 2009 we actually paid less tax than we really should have. This meant people morally owe the state more money. Also as the voters should have pointed this out during the various elections but instead greedily accepted the tax cuts it is really the fault of the general taxpayer. Thus it is only morally right that fines and interest should be applied as a warning to future generations of voters.

Therefore all personal savings are subject to nationalisation and will be confiscated by the government. If the amount in your bank account is less than you owe then a balancing statement will be issued to adjust your tax credits to consume your entire salary until retirement. In the unlikely event that the amount in your bank account is more than you owe then this excess will be used to balance the tax due from relatives who died between 2000 and 2009 who now find themselves in tax arrears.

Sure it may seem a bit far fetched but 3 days ago so did backdating tax to target the redundancy payments of the recently unemployed.
