They haven't fixed it due to it requiring parliament to severely curtail HMRC's powers.

The quickest way to fix it is to go through the ridiculously large number of tax guidelines and simplify them. Do that and the likes of Corbyn will funnily enough play politics with it.

It all sounds very convenient It seems like the lobbyists and polital donors get what they pay for

Not really a conspiracy, the facts are there for all to see. If you are looking for a motive, just ask the question who benefits? You are saying the situation came about purely by accident rather than design, which is fair enough, but there is no reason to call people who don't agree with you a conspiracy theorist in defence of your arguement. Do you even know how the term conspiracy theory came about?

Let's run with your theory that the tax code is riddled with holes purely by accident, so how would you go about explaining the existence of the tax havens located in British overseas territories? It does seem too good to be true that the wealthy can to take advantage of an accidentally designed tax code, in order to avoid paying tax using this system. Some might say it is a match made in heaven. Ok go on then, call me a coincidence theorist if you must

"Accidentally designed tax code" - who claims that? Christ, I've little confidence in HMRC for generating correct tax codes - one year within the space of two weeks I was sent letters containing four different codes!
