Yeah, there’s a whiff of victim-blaming about this. It’s actually the pursuit of tax avoidance that’s at issue, and ultimately the blame for tax avoidance lies with the tax avoider.

You wouldn’t know that from the FT though, which has chosen to regurgitate a Lib Dem press release instead of doing any actual journalism here. The way they talk about tax going uncollected you would think there was a fundamental problem with the way they issue tax demands or maintain self assessment systems.
