Maybe I'm just suggesting that tax avoidance should be available to ordinary PAYE individuals as well as the wealthy.
If it's good enough for Cameroon......
It is available to anyone who has a case or a cause to use it.
Don't talk rubbish. You're twisting the meaning.
How does an ordinary worker transfer his income to somewhere where no (or miniscule) tax would be due?
Can a factory worker in Birmingham (pretend to) live in Monaco?
I see you've picked one sentence of my comment and applied it to just one issue of tax avoidance, which might be tax evasion, depending on the circumstances. You're twisting the semantics of my comment.
Cameron was accused of tax avoidance because he sold his shares before the £10K CGT threshold was reached. Thus it wasn't my interpretation of tax avoidance. It was his political accusers who coined the phrase 'tax avoidance' when he was using personal tax allowances.
To be able to be taxed in another country, you have to be registered there for residency. Some countries, it makes no difference because you're still assessed in your country of nationality. I believe USA and France have that arrangement where you have to declare and are taxed on your global income, although there are some double taxation treaties in place. (Although France, I believe, applies it to those registered for residency rather than nationality).
To be registered as resident, the majority of countries require you to have more six months each year spent in that country, or to have reasonable family, social or business connections with that country. How does a factory worker in Birmingham register for residency in Monaco? Don't talk rubbish.
What about those tax avoidance opportunities that I specifically mentioned? And there's more opportunities that I didn't mention, hence the 'etc'.
I'll repeat my comment below, all of it, for you to peruse my comment again.
It is available to anyone who has a case or a cause to use it.
CGT, Personal Allowances, Opt out of tax paid on Savings Interest (if your gross annual is below Personal Allowance), Premium Bonds free of tax, Electric vehicles, etc. There's loads of tax avoidance built into the system.
It's up to the individual to be aware of any allowances that are due to them, except PAYE, where personal tax allowances are automatically applied.
To be fair, noseall's comment about tax advice clinics has some merit . Although I dare say the tax office will advise anyone of any allowances due, but if you don't know you won't ask. There are now plenty of websites advising people on financial affairs, one of which is taxation.
Perhaps there's a need for a DIYtax forum or site.
