Crosby is an Australian citizen, non-domiciled in the UK. His is not doing anything wrong and is perfectly correct in managing his affairs in a tax efficient manner - good for him. This is the right of everyone to manage their affairs in whatever legal way available to minimise their tax-take.
An absurd story that ignores the rights (real rights that is) of individuals to manage their own affairs within the law.

So you must agree then, that the person that has been dumped onto jobseekers benefits because his employer decided to use an agency, using zero hours contracts, then the individual decides to ignore the offers from the job centre of a zero hours employment because that is his right( legal right) as an individual, to mange his affairs as he see fit and is within the law?

Ah yes, the good old 'double standard' thingy.
I have been recently reminded of the goodly thinking that kept Lilliputian society rolling along. (see Gulliver's Travels)
One of their good ideas was to hold 'fraud' to be far more serious than 'theft'.
You could learn a fair bit more about all of this, and how it impacts upon our daily lives, by watching the video in the first link below...

There is no reason why non-doms should pay tax on their non-UK income to the UK government. But we need to ensure that they don't enter into arrangements to shelter their UK income from tax.
Suppose you went to Norway to work, letting your UK house while you were away. Would you expect to pay Norwegian income tax on the rent?

Peter, great post.
I've read it three times to make sure that you're not being too clever for me, and I'm pretty sure I agree!?
I would be interested on your view of the Barclay Brothers.

Ha! My view of such people is that they are too clever to have done anything illegal.

David Cameron accused of being a 'Nimby' over garden cities plan
Lib Dems say PM deliberately suppressed a plan which could see development in a Conservative heartland
David Cameron has been accused of being a "Nimby" and deliberately suppressing a plan which could see garden cities built in a Conservative heartland.
The Whitehall document recommends the construction of two garden cities with tens of thousands of homes being built but the report, written more than a year ago, has yet to be published.
Senior Liberal Democrats accused the Prime Minister, whose Witney constituency is in Oxfordshire, of suppressing the report and, according to the Daily Telegraph, of taking a "Nimby attitude".
Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, has already identified Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire as areas where new homes could be built but the Conservatives are said to fear such a development would bring Labour voters into a Tory stronghold.
The Whitehall report calls for the developments to be modelled on the original garden city projects at Letchworth and Welwyn in Hertfordshire
