(Tax Avoidance != Tax Evasion)

[lambrini_socialist]

BTW - the use of != for not equal isn't ANSI/ISO standard is it? Shouldn't it be <> ?

java / c# / ruby, innit?

"Tax avoidance" is an annoying term because it isn't legally defined. If you put money into an ISA or pension (like the government recommends) because the growth is tax-free, that's tax avoidance. If you buy less fags, booze or petrol than you used to because of the increasing duty on them, that's tax avoidance too. Hardly the ethical crime of the century.
