It is time that tax avoidance is treated as theft, not a "procedural misdemeanor' which is often the result with the guilty party allowed to buy their way out by paying the back tax plus a penalty.
Tax avoidance is simply organising your affairs to pay the minimum tax and not the maximum. Your personal allowance is avoiding paying tax on every £ or income. Your ISAs are the same - a piece of tax avoidance. So is your pension scheme.
I use all the allowances that I legally can to ensure that the income that I pay 40% on is kept to a minimum. I dont think that should be treated as theft
