Which loopholes are you specifically referring to in the case of BG/Centrica and how many of them are potentially 'dodgy' as opposed to being entirely in keeping with Govt. regulation and long accepted business practice? If they're acting within the rules (like you are by say utilising your tax free ISA allowance) then they are by definition paying what they owe. We can't go around assuming that all companies are engaged in what amounts to tax evasion, that's a matter for HMRC and the courts to determine. If you're suggesting that all revenue should be liable for tax irrespective of the costs etc. incurred in generating it and the various concessions made by Govt. for so doing then I think we can all look forward to much higher bills.
