You use the term fraud there very easily.. Fraud is a criminal act, tax evasion is a criminal act, but tax avoidance is every mans right,

The items I spelled out are drastic but not illegal if structured correctly... It is entirely possible to have a corporate structure set up that you do not own but are able to manage, it is entirely legal, to have that company as your employer, and then to follow some of the steps I mentioned. You mention blackmail but I wonder from whom ?? and over what ?? That your an employee of a non british corporate structure ?? That your home or car is owned by a blind trust ?? These are not illegal activities.

These things may be unethical from the point of view of a person being part of society and not contributing his share but they are not always illegal, these are techniques the really rich use all the time and actually are not nearly as expensive as they sound.

Please show me what is illegal about forming a corporate stucture that you are not the owner or shareholder of that then performs your employment and expense payments as outlined above. A good international tax specialist (not your local accountant) can advise what the legal way to minimise your tax responsibilies are.

On one level simply having an offshore company with the ability to invoice for work done but never account for it perfectly legally (for example a Seychelles company need not present accounts for work done outside the Seychelles) is a huge headache saver in not doing all that petty accounting that tax officers can demand from an onshore corporate stucture. Handily enough a Seychelles company is an LTD and can legally have a UK address (gets complex around VAT for work done inside the UK though) so appears very 'British' if invoicing in another country.
