I've enjoyed this thread, probably the most interesting back and forth since football went away.
I'm no accountant, but I do think many people do questionable, but not illegal activity when it comes to tax. This can even be as simple as being creative with expenses.
For me, that's why tax is a moral issue as well as a legal one. There's a balance to be struck, and government should be held accountable for spending, but ultimately our tax is there to create a budget to make our society better and create a safety net for moments when we're at our most vulnerable.
NB, I've been discussing this way beyond Joe Lewis, someone who's business I know very little about.
