The rich getting richer is a good thing, haven't you heard of the trickle down effect...

It is complicated for a reason, misdirection.
There appears to be a lot of movement of staff between HMRC and big business that benefit from 'finding' the loopholes. The government tell me what tax to pay, they effectively ask mega rich and big businesses what they would like to pay.
You know you are ****ed when the woman whose face is on the currency doesn't even keep her money here.
It started out with a trick, how did it end up like this? It was only a trick, I'm Mrs Brighthouse ..

Odd that this story " breaks " just in time to take the heat off the Westminster perves scandal.
Wonder how many of us are using google at the moment..
The rich have always looked after themselves and that includes the monarchy. God knows why people look up to these social inadequates.
The uninformed rantings about 'people not paying their taxes' are so typical of the times we live in. Grab a headline and make loud indignant noises about it, never mind the facts. Everybody pays tax. The question is how much tax. And what is done with it.
People who use perfectly legal tax avoidance schemes are not criminals or 'tainted' in any way. All they are doing is desperately trying to hang on to more of their OWN money. Shock horror!
Generally speaking, anybody who claims they don't organise their financial affairs in order to minimise their tax liability, is either an idiot or a hypocrite. Most fall into the second category, e.g. The Guardian, Daily Mirror, John McDonnell, Margaret Beckett and most Lefties who love to huff and puff about 'tax havens'.
I've got no particular axe to grind about Lewis Hamilton. I detest Formula 1. But he bought an aircraft for several million pounds - from earnings on which he had already paid tax. He then arranged the purchase in such a way that he avoided being taxed again. What he did was perfectly legal. Was it immoral? That's a matter of personal conjecture. It doesn't bother me. What would bother me is if he started lecturing the rest of us about the immorality of legal tax avoidance, as do McDonnell and Beckett. Of course the motto of the Left is 'do as I say, not as I do'. They all undergo specialist training on how to be a hypocrite.
The uninformed rantings by tax dodgers' apologists are so typical of the times we live in.
Using your tax free allowance is avoiding paying tax
