anouncement: charity appeal 2011

In the 2011 UK budget George Osbourne announced a tax incentive that didn't get much media attention. In the event that you missed it I'll give a brief outline.

Under the new IHT rules, if you leave 10% of your estate to charity in your will, your relatives pay 10% less in Inheritance Tax. Not a bad deal when you think about it.

So today I am announcing the 2011 theguywhomoanscalledmatthew Charity to Help theguywhomoanscalledmatthew. I'm not saying I want all my readers to drop dead, but I am encouraging each of you to leave 10% of your estate to my new charity who's sole purpose is to help me :¬), because my woeful Adsense doesn't pay the bills. And while I am at it, click my bloody advertising links.

Then, if you were to have an 'accident' you can rest peacefully in the knowledge that you helped the less fortunate... ME.

In the event that you don't want to will your money to me (shame on you), then why not give some money to The  Dogs Trust, but not the Cat Protection League because cats are lame.
