Kiwiblog Correction

My good friend David Farrar has deemed me a "tax expert".

Compared to No Right Thought I guess I am an expert in most things, however in the profession I respectfully reject this tag.

a) there are very few "tax experts" in New Zealand. They are the ones with square eyes from constantly reading legislative updates and can memorise the lettered and old numbered sections of the Income Tax Act. They are also almost always very old because it is fucking difficult. I am definitely not one.

b) I haven't prepared a tax return since I left New Zealand. Calling me a tax expert is a bit like claiming a bald doctor can be an expert in hair transplants.
