I, personally, don't do any of that: I don't own property, which the bulk of those schemes require, and I don't have children, which the other set usually does.

I, personally, don't do any of that: I don't own property, which the bulk of those schemes require, and I don't have children, which the other set usually does. No trusts or anything involved to reduce my tax burden. I pay what I pay, basically, because I fall into the slightly weird edge-case of having a decent salary but none of the other things that would give me access to these sorts of systems for better or worse. Doesn't really worry me though, I earn more than enough for a happy life!
- buboard 7y agoGood for you, but unless you are avoiding these situations on purpose, or promise to pay above what's legally required for taxes, you can't claim ethical superiority than those that do.
- girvo 7y agoWhere did I claim “ethical superiority”? I was accused of doing something, I explained that I did not. No need to be rude about it either, thanks.
