How do we know, when it's secret?
A few years back Cameron was condemning comedian Jimmy Carr and others for using Isle of Man tax structures. A big part of the Rangers football club collapse was their use of tax-avoidance structures to pay players that were ruled unlawful, and their subsequent inability to pay back taxes. Another part of the MPs' expenses scandal was abuse of the "primary residence" CGT exemption. Tax avoidance of varying levels and quasi-legitimacy seems to be quite widespread.
Doctors and lawyers aren't doing as well as they used to, qv the junior doctors' strike. The real money in the UK is finance and property.
