It's not about intelligence though I don't think. The UK is structured in a way where a certain 'class' of people never lose, no matter what the government does. It's a massive job to break that down. The low hanging fruit is the large number of people in the middle who aren't obsessed with money enough to focus their energy or resources towards avoiding tax.
