Well well well looks like the United Kingdom is swimming in a sea of cash with that record breaking £16.7 billion budget surplus in January. Talk about making it rain!

Taxman Cometh but Not as Much

Even with £33 billion in self assessed income and capital gains tax receipts it seems the U.K. was a bit shy of the full amount. The taxman may knock twice but he doesn't always bring the full bill.

Fiscal Tightrope in the Brexit Fog
