How strange of the American spooks to make such an elementary error. Maybe the last time that a CIA agent stirred out of McClean, Virginia, with a mission to investigate the UK tax year was 1854.
It was that year, according to Britain's Inland Revenue, that the end of the tax year was fixed as 5 April - and has remained so ever since.
