The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Stephen Timms, is quoted in Accountancy Age:
"This Government will not tolerate tax avoidance or tax evasion in any form, and will act promptly to tackle both of these."
Lumping tax avoidance with tax evasion is part of the ongoing game of media spin and manipulation being played by the government and HMRC, to make people think of them as the same.
They are not the same!
Like it or not, tax avoidance is legitimate and will be with us as long as there are taxes.
Tax does have to be taxing.
