‘Taking advantage of complex tax laws in order to reduce the individual burden is perfectly legal and has been standard practice among the super-rich for years. But with the recession biting and the Coalition forced to make swingeing cuts in public services, the question of whether the activity is ethical has become ever more pertinent.
