[HHGTTG] How does one "spend a year dead" and what is the tax incentive for doing so?

Ford meets Hotblack Desiato in Milliways and learns that he is spending a year dead "for tax purposes". How do they plan to bring him back after a year? What tax benefit will he gain as a result? Disaster Area's tax lawyers and accountants are supposed to be wizards of tax law, so I'm sure they have a plan, but I'd love to know more about it.

Basically, if you are dead, you do not pay taxes.  Also, your current burdens transfer to someone else, so your previous tax debt is erased.  So, if you have a massive tax debt that is continuously building up every year, just die and it all goes away.

As for coming back afterwards, well, that takes a lot of hope and money.  Essentially, your mind is shunted to an alternate universe while your body is confirmed dead.  Think of the universe that our wonderful president visited in order to survive the TPV.  Just spend a year there and then come back.  Easy enough.  The trick is to keep your body fresh while still technically being dead.  You cannot pump blood, have brain waves, or breathe.  Very tricky and expensive to do.
