Ekona I understand your point, having just received a communication from my 'clever accountant' regards my latest VAT payment of thousands of pounds.
The difficulty with any taxation system i guess is it's ongoing complexity and changing nature along with the ability of those administering it to keep up with those changes. Whether they be changes to corporation tax, VAT, PAYE, benefits that may or may not be tax deductible etc. The whole thing has to be a minefield to manage, although that's a poor excuse.
As Chesterfield's pointed out, there's clearly a difference between avoidance and evasion and to be fair I'm being hypocritical as I've benefitted from some of those tax loop holes and here I am moaning! What goes around comes around I suppose. Its never going to feel like a right time to pay tax.
I'll just keep paying my accountant, pay what's legally due and try not to worry about too much. I have no justification for complaining and I'm fortunate to be able to put a roof over my head and still eat, which is a lot more than some other poor souls.
