State Uses Tax Avoidance

Oh dear, it would seem that the state is not practising what it preaches.

NHS trusts are flouting orders not to use tax avoidance schemes.

The Mail reports that under a tax loophole, temporary staff are employed by financial consultants and supplied to hospitals as ‘medical services’.

It means they are exempt from the 20 per cent VAT usually levied on agency workers.

An HMRC spokesman said:

‘HMRC expects all businesses, including public bodies, to apply the tax rules correctly. Government guidance explicitly states public sector organisations should not engage in tax evasion or avoidance.’

Well of course the state should practice "evasion" (as that is illegal!). I am not sure I get why the state shouldn't use legal tax avoidance though?

Tax does have to be taxing.
