The constitutional principle of the rule of law also includes equality and fairness. Perhaps those individuals and corporations who are able to spend significant sums on lawyers to assist in developing new tax avoidance schemes would be better advised to spend the money on ensuring they pair fair taxes. The vast majority do not and cannot seek to avoid tax and accept the obligation which all the community has to contribute to promote the well-being of the community as a whole. When the gap between rich and poor is increasing and child poverty is predicted to reach 3.5m those wealthy enough to afford tax avoidance advice could bear in mind whether their actions whilst within the letter of tax law are also within the spirit of the law and consistent with their wider duty to the community.
