Bozo is correct that director-shareholders can reduce their tax exposure by playing the system.   And that those heading companies can fiddle petrol expenses where those further down can't. Tax dodgers.

Companies like Vodafone do it and similar things on a bigger scale.


If the system wasn't massaged, and the fiddles weren't fiddled (and the evasion didn't happen) there'd be a massive tax surplus to fund the NHS and education and to put benefits up to levels where there was no need for the benefits fraud that in total costs an insignificant fraction of the tax not collected.


And we know from CBI membership which party the big corporations support (in general, not in every case). We know from the correlation between poverty in constituencies and electoral outcomes which party the rich (in general, not in every case) support. And we know that those who have the most would therefore be subject (if all went to taxmanplan) to the most tax.

QED.
