I hear on the news that Greeks with money are transferring it to banks in Cyprus and Switzerland.
Someone from the Greek Government said that they had an arrangement with the Swiss that they would be told who had moved money in this way .... the spokesman didn't mention arrangements with Cyprus  rubschin:

One of the few benefits of the Euro is the 500 Euro note.

Half a holdall of those would do very nicely.

I speak hypothetically of course but if a customer asked me if it were possible to pay cash, in Euros for example rather than being invoiced with the VAT at 20% in sterling then it might be worth considering.

The fact is, the more they raise tax/duty the more people there are that feel it is too much and try to avoid it...
