‘I’ve had enough. I’m not paying my taxes.’

A BUSINESSMAN has vowed to stop paying his taxes in protest at the bank bailouts and says he’ll take his chances with Revenue.

Philipp Matuschka, a management consultant and company director, says he is no longer willing to have his taxes pay for the mistakes of an “elite group of idiots” who were in charge of the country’s finances and banking system.

“What happened this week just infuriated me. I have always been a relatively willing taxpayer believing I paid my taxes to support the poor and needy and for infrastructure and security. I am quite happy to pay my taxes on that basis but as of this week I feel I am now paying taxes to support the wrongdoing of others.”
