Hello all, und Grüezi.
Long-time Lurker here.
I'm delighted to help contribute to this "
hell thread", as was earlier put by a user whose handle escapes me at this point.
Following allegations made, which were made to Queensway in Oct. / Nov. 2017, Mr Tamplin has confirmed [in about the most Tamplin way imaginable] that he is under Tax Investigation - i.e. on Radio, in a public forum.

Transcribed, slightly difficult to hear owing to vernacular speech patterns,
&c. :
"
One thing that's happened with all this media attention has, has made things difficult with erm, tax inquiries and stuff like that which is all fine 'cos everything I do is 100% legitimate, but all of a sudden you have to get things like figures and facts together which you wouldn't normally have to do, erm and then all of a sudden because, er, the media attention...[further charidee nonsense
&c, whilst realising as he talks that he shouldn't have just put that last bit out into the public realm, followed by a change of tack and a change of subject]"
Takeaways :
1. You have to keep "
figures & facts" for 6 years. It is 100% something you would "
normally have to do"
2. The "
media attention" was 100% avoidable. It didn't have to be Zippo's Show [I know that you'll be reading this Glenn] and it's been 100% brought on by the egotistical approach shown thus far.
3. Don't talk about your tax affairs in public - it makes things much, much worse [and now it's in that public forum, speculation on the subject has a Statutory Defence]
