With the stushie about Jimmy Carr's tax liability, I find it truly amazing that someone like this can make enough money doing what he does to be able to have the option of using a Tax Avoidance Scheme. The figure of £3,000,000 a year has been quoted, which I suppose could be well off the mark.
Maybe the comedians, or should I say "clowns" are the ones who queue up in their thousands to part with their hard-earned money to feed the bank accounts of these people.
I also feel that it was a mistake for David Cameron as Prime Minister to pass judgement on Mr Carr for two reasons:
1. As Prime Minister, he should not be discussing any individual taxpayers affairs in public.
2. As Prime Minister, he is First Lord of the Treasury, and head of the government which is responsible for passing anti-avoidance legislation. The fact that these schemes are legitimately available to high-earning taxpayers is a reflection on the effectiveness of this legislation.
