Err...what goes here?

One of the more interesting facts - for me - to have arisen out of the welter of data on MPs expenses being published daily at the moment is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, among others, feels the need to have an accountant to oversee his tax return and make sure it is done properly. Doesn't this say more about the opaque complexity of the tax return than it does about the Chancellor? And in as much as he is in charge of it, shouldn't he be looking to making it more simple and transparent, and then maybe he wouldn't need an accountant.
