I had an accountant like that once. I realised that we had to part ways when he sat there and said to me "I think you might have a bit more tax to pay there but I'm not sure. I'll look into it".....rather than "I'll see if I can get round that"
Now I have one that saves me a shedload of tax.
The reason that I use tax avoidance schemes is that I would otherwise be taxed unfairly (I believe) highly.
If the government wants to stop tax avoidance they should simplify the rules.
The same flat rate (somewhwere in the 10-20% range) for everyone. It would be fair, transparent and I suspect that it would raise far more revenue.
