Of course. I'm not advocating that. But I do think most people assume there's not much you can do, aside from paying up. Getting a decent understanding of basic tax law pays itself back over the years.

I've met self employed people who don't even understand the difference between salary, corporate tax and dividends.

That's below the competence of an H&R block adviser. Having basic minimal competence is of course a good idea. But, the risk vs. reward from messing with your taxes is capped at a fraction of your income so there are generally far better risks to take.
