I think him being dead helps.

What was the name of that band in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? They took a year off dead for tax reasons.

Work for a pan-European organisation (such as something to do with the final frontier) and although you have to pay income tax it tends to be set at something like 2% plus with some of them you even get semi-diplomatic status!

1 Befriend the PM
2 Setup your wife as the Director of your multi-million pound retail company and stipulate her residency is in Monaco
3 Congrats - you dont have to pay a penny tax on your UK company profits - isnt that so retail magnate Mr P Green and 'friend' of the former hon Mr Blair ?

I see a flaw in that plan.

Yes, but IIRC they can keep you banged up on contempt of court until you hand it over.
