Horrible!  And the opacity of that language again vindicates my opinion on the 
misplacement of “only”.  In common usage now people write or say it before the 
verb of a clause instead of before the clause that it qualifies . . . and it is 
misleading.  But there are 2 sentences that don’t really make sense.

But then that’s the job of the tax man: to make rules that no one understands, 
and to ensure than any explanation is not worthy of that term.
