I missed the South African bit but saw the French part which did make me ponder whether to give the advice but figured that if someone offers tax advice to one person then they are going to get complacent and see no issue offering it to another.
We also don't know where Jodhi is tax resident. Lets remember that they came to a UK based site. Not the French one to ask their questions.
Any time anyone gives tax advice, especially in writing, use the line that I quoted as it goes someway towards absolving you of direct responsbility. Also use phrasing such as "I believe" and "Its' my understanding that".
And in case you think that I may be overreacting. In addition to restoring the person to the position that they would have been in had they not taken the advice, the MINIMUM fine permissible to be levied by HMRC is £1,500 (the maximum is £50,000).
Anyway, I was just being uncharacterisically friendly to Harem. Where's my well done for playing nice with others
