UK Tax Dodgers

• Tax avoidance schemes cost the UK £3.1bn in 2012-13 (the most recent figures), the HMRC says
• The HMRC says: "The avoidance tax gap is an annual estimate of the tax lost due to avoidance schemes that are subject to HMRC scrutiny and frustrate the intention of Parliament."
• £1.4bn of that was through income tax, national insurance contributions and capital gains tax
• £1.3bn was in unpaid corporation tax
• £0.1bn was lost through VAT and the remaining £0.2bn was through other direct taxes

According to a YouGov survey published in November, 63% of British people said they believed the moral duty to contribute to public services was stronger than the right to keep the money one earns. In the US, only 37% agreed.
Attitudes may have hardened since then, following revelations that banking giant HSBC helped wealthy clients across the world evade hundreds of millions of pounds in tax.
It's true that different people who use the term "tax avoidance" mean very different things by it, as Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls found when he was drawn into a row about whether one should get a receipt for hedge-trimming services and was subject to a newspaper investigation into how he pays his window cleaner.

• Most people are entitled to earn the first £10,000 tax free
