If it is 'believed' that you owe more than £1000.00 in tax, the taxman will exercise the power to raid your account. 

What happens then if the tax officials got the calculations wrong? afterall tax officials have been critisised time and again for pursuing taxpayers who owed nothing. It is a known fact that some taxpayers are struggling to make sense out of HMRC because of their legitimate complaints being wrongly rejected. With this type of negative reputation, how can HMRC be trusted to raid taxpayers' accounts?

Hello World!

So much is happenning and so fast it is almost impossible to catch a breath! What with the awful business of the abduction of the young girls from the school in Nigeria, and the other acts of violence that Boko Haram continues to inflict upon the Northern community. Our thoughts are with the girls and their families. These are worrying times indeed.

Synopsis of our published books

The first pick of our published books, is 'Dear Junia' by Tomi Makanjuola who is an undergraduate at Oxford Universtity where she is studying English and French. 

This book tells us the story of a young woman (Wura) in her early twenties. Fed up with wallowingg in apathy, she embarkes on an epistolary journey that will change her life forever. Through her candid letters to the unborn Junia, she begins to confront the murky depths of her past. Why did her leave? What really caused her father to give up their home and life in Nigeria for the too -neat streets of England? The closer she gets to finding the answers to her questions, the more she is forced to face the dark reality of family secrets that have been supressed for years.

Available in paperback and kindle version on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Dear+Junia

The second pick of our published books is Stoic by Yomi Makanjuola CEO Thinck Limited.

"Life is like an onion. You never know howmuch joy and grief it has in store for you until you peal it back layer by layer" said Mr. Pai to Franklin. Franklin Delano's emotional roller-coaster expedition into adulthood at the turn of the millennium is a powerful coming -of -age story that is guarranteed to tug at your heart strings.
Hue, Franklin's closest friend, is a conflicted bi-racial who coceivably will do anything to please his mecurial sister Jasmine. Worryingly, Jasmine was "someone who expected a flash bulb to go off everytime she smiled". Franklin's gallantry in the face of life's travails will challenge many of your default assumptions about friendship, betrayal, tragedy and heroism.

Available in paperback and Kindle version on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=stoic+yomi&sprefix=stoic%2Cstripbooks%2C390
