In addition to news that the government is to tax people’s wealth as well as their real-estate, we heard a rumor this morning that Hungarians were fretting about putting their holiday snaps up on popular social networking site iWiW for fear of being fingered by Hungarian tax office APEH. We quickly Googled the words “iWiW” and “APEH” and found that there is some truth to the paranoid tittle tattle, with obscure portal N-Joy quoting tax office spokesman Ferenc Marton revealing that there have been cases of loss-maiking business owners on the minimum wage posting pictures of themselves on safari in Africa. Has APEH never heard of Photoshop?

I’m going to sign up for this iwiw thing, and post a photo of Schloss Neuschwanstein as my new vacation home. See if APEH picks up on it.
Could anybody send me an invitation?
Thanks!
