A Grown-Up Tale

Jimmy learns about Taxes

Jimmy has made some money.

This is excellent news.

Unfortunately, the Tax Man has noticed.

What begins with a successful little Etsy business soon sends Jimmy on an educational journey through the wonderful world of taxation.

He discovers VAT while shopping, sells an antique and meets Capital Gains Tax, learns that even his savings aren’t necessarily safe, and orders something from abroad only to discover an exciting collection of duties, VAT and handling fees waiting at customs.

Jimmy begins to notice a troubling pattern.

Make money → Tax.
Spend money → Tax.

Fortunately, his barber knows a clever way of making money nice and clean again.

Unfortunately, so does the Tax Man.
