I, too, must declare an interest in that I wrote a book, the last chapter of which was titled, Don't let the accountants win. I have a query in regard to co-operatives. If I remember correctly, up until some years ago co-operatives did not pay any tax. Tax in this area came into force following abuse of the provision by commercial companies which formed co-operatives in order to avoid paying tax. I assume that is way behind us now and settled.
