Whether it's skill or knowledge is a semantic point.
On my immigration forum, well not mine, just a place where I post, having a foreign missus, I get a few EU folks (Romanian) wanting to relocate to UK cos they earn their wonga via online poker, 30k pa plus, citing that they wouldn't have to pay tax in UK, so therefore if what u say is correct (I've no reason to doubt) - they must pay tax?
Where is the skill/chance line?

Anyway where's the skill in Beckham's wife? It's knowledge, not skill?

Nice idea, but still a fail.

U know, boss/ClientCo says u get your money if you can answer the following question;
What is the name of David Beckham's wife?
1. Queen Victoria, Empress of India, died 1901.
2. Victoria Beckham, wife of David Beckham.
3. Victoria Station, London, not an actual person.
Get it right, u get your money, get it wrong, well, there's always next week...
No tax!

You only need to add water (no sugar) to make 30 bottles. Pretty good wine and less than £1 per bottle.

Its neither. You are allowed to home brew for yourself. It only becomes an issue for duty if you attempt to sell it.

I'm curious as to whether this would be classified as tax avoidance or evasion?
If fact what exactly is tax avoidance?

Keep this on the down low folks - we don't want hector getting wind of it
So much home-brew in fact, that he then brought in a tax on what you should have bought, a 'deemed to have brewed' tax.
