First paragraph states I'm aware it's not illegal!


No, he didn't jump the gun. Tax EVASION is illegal, tax AVOIDANCE is not. You referred to tax evasion as if it were what Cameron has done and also as if it were legal. Evasion means a false pretence about what you earn so that you do not attract tax, avoidance means truly declaring your earnings but using legal structures , allowances and expenses to offset the amount of tax.


2015 tory manifesto. Crack down on (aggressive) tax avoidance. It's there, all written down. The Tories responding to schemes like K2, criticising Starbucks, Apple, Amazon etc but then quite happy to have done much the same avoidance themselves.

You could argue that a fund that is administered from the UK and is setup in a tax free jurisdiction is aggressive. It's being done with the primary motive of avoiding UK tax (most likely corporation / dividend tax) and regulation.


That was the angle of my post - nothing to do with legality, but I'd quite like to know if the accusation of being a hypocrite is valid.

I would expect that the cost to the economy of tax evasion far outweighs the cost of tax avoidance including Google/Amazon etc.
I've heard plenty of people moaning about 'the rich' not paying the taxes due, but they are perfectly happy 'paying cash' etc. That is rife, tax avoidance is not.

An interesting (but impossible) statistic to find would be who avoids (evasion or avoidance) the most tax- your average labour or conservative voter..?
