		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided to move the blog across to Blogger for the time being. It allows me to alter the CSS on posts so that I can do syntax highlighting on code. Make sure that you are using the correct blog address of www.3spoken.co.uk and update your feed subscription if you have one. See you there.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=3spoken.wordpress.com&amp;blog=270234&amp;post=29&amp;subd=3spoken&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HMRC have reinterpreted their rules on &#8216;use of home&#8217; for the self-employed. Now you can claim a proportion of the telephone line rental, council tax, insurance, Mortgage Interest/Rent and Repairs to the building (including decoration). Full details of the rules here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/BIM47800.htm An excellent analysis of the rules by Nicola Ross Martin is on Accounting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=3spoken.wordpress.com&amp;blog=270234&amp;post=26&amp;subd=3spoken&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tax doesn&#8217;t have to be taxing as they say. In fact it can be quite profitable. If you run as a Limited Company and you pay your Corporation Tax ahead of time, then the government will pay you interest on your money. What&#8217;s more surprising is that the rate is really rather good &#8211; currently [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=3spoken.wordpress.com&amp;blog=270234&amp;post=25&amp;subd=3spoken&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This is because it is available to anybody receiving Child Tax Credit where the claw back is still in operation.
