My thanks to a Loyal Reader who has alerted me to a very gemusing article in Taxation, that defines a phrase that clearly should trend on Twitter:
- "Tax petardance"
"Tax ‘petardance’: avoidance that hoists HMRC by their own petard, typically by taking advantage of an anti-avoidance provision in reverse.Splendid!
Any sense of moral turpitude is cancelled out by feeling that HMRC have got their just desserts for introducing a stupid provision in the first place!"
Let's get it trending!

It's great to see you citing (and indeed applauding!) an article that differentiates between tax avoidance and tax planning/mitigation, and which specifically gives ISAs as an example of the latter. Are you starting to get your head around the difference at last, Ken? ;)

avoidance STILL isn't evasion and therefore not illegal!
