Was happy yesterday to recieve a letter saying that i now only have to file Vat returns every 4 months in opposed to every 2. I think this is a great step forward from the Irish Gov. The Bureaucracy of business compliance is a major problem for small and start up businesses. Paying Vat both personal and corportate, can be very time consuming from filing little reciepts and trying to collect expenses reciepts (from employees) then setting aside otherwise productive time to keep everything in order is a pain. While i think having to do so is not a bad thing at all, business needs to be kept in order. The time constraints and frequency was problematic. Big pat on the back for the guys in revenue on this matter.

As many people have been mentioning Spam in the last while has been on the massive increase and its really getting annoying. Today i had 33 blog post spams, 147 spam emails (in my inbox) and 6 trojan viruses in emails. Surely outlook can do better? Does spamming really work for these people? Surely if they focused their efforts else where they could be more productive.
