subject matter Explanation: I am out of my depth here, so this is an optimistic paraphrase. I would have thought it means something like "We have many years' experience ... of highly complex tax matters, both in terms of the subject matter and the procedures." You can of course find many occurrences of "material tax" on Google, but to my mind they mean something different, namely that the tax concerned is large enough to matter. This strikes me as a very different meaning from the one here. |

materially Explanation: I'm reasonably sure that they do in fact mean materially complication tax issues - issues that are complicated in terms of who owns what etc (material in the sense of "relating to, or affecting economic or physical wellbring") - rather than issues that may be complicated processes, but relatively simple in terms of who owes money to whom (take Kronofogden for example, though I know it's not tax...!). Materially as an adveb is very commonly used in relation to tax issues (UK googles in the ref). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2006-10-19 18:40:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I mean materially complicat"ed" tax issues - time to pack up for the day I think... count the typos in the above...
