I think there should be a blanket tax avoidance law, covering all bases. Everyone knows what tax avoidance is and should avoid it as it loses the country billions of pounds a year.
If there are loopholes it means that somebody hasn't done their job properly. Why pick on those who are clever enough to spot it?
Wonder if Ken Dodd is still hiding money.

Yes - they should. And they do.
The important thing is that the same rules, rates and percentages apply to them - as the rest of us.
Usually, the very rich end up giving away their fortune- like Carnegie and Rockefeller. And, currently, Gates. |

Spot on Honey. Simplistic envy for the brain dead. "Rich people should pay more". Doh. |

You're missing the point. Laws should be tighter without doubt, but it doesn't mean that if you earn millions and pay 1% tax, while the rest of us pay 25% - 40% then this means that they are selfish and greedy, and this is the point of the story.
Who doesn't want to pay less tax?  I think a lot of the outrage is jealousy of richer people. |
