"I haven't been able to work for near six months," he said. "I've had to use any savings I did have in my company to survive. I'm now faced with a very bleak future, not knowing what I'm going to do, selling my house."
That sounds quite extreme. Does he in fact mean "I haven't been able to work in a way that I find advantageous regarding taxation [...]"? I find it hard to believe that for someone who has technical skills and the will to work, that employment prospects are so bleak. Given a choice between burning through my savings / selling my assets versus taking up direct employment I know which way I'd go.
Times change, and sometimes we need to change with them.
