The Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust is a group, which purports to be a property trust, operating in Ireland. While supporters of the group's methods have stated that it can exploit loopholes in mortgage documents to prevent the takeover of at-risk properties from bank repossession, a number of politicians, financial advisors and legal commentators have warned that the group's purpose is to scam investors and embezzle funds while claiming to place the property into a non-existent 'trust'. The group was set up by Charles Allen, a Kilkenny based landscape gardener.

Value-added Tax
A value-added tax (VAT), known in some countries as a goods and services tax (GST), is a type of tax that is assessed incrementally. It is levied on the price of a product or service at each stage of production, distribution, or sale to the end consumer. If the ultimate consumer is a business that collects and pays to the government VAT on its products or services, it can reclaim the tax paid. It is similar to, and is often compared with, a sales tax. VAT is an indirect tax because the person who ultimately bears the burden of the tax is not necessarily the same person as the one who pays the tax to the tax authorities. Not all localities require VAT to be charged, and exports are often exempt. VAT is usually implemented as a destination-based tax, where the tax rate is based on the location of the consumer and applied to the sales price. The terms VAT, GST, and the more general consumption tax are sometimes used interchangeably. VAT raises about a fifth of total tax revenues bo ...
