Cadbury: The great tax fudge – FT.com.

Reading this detailed article, I must say that I was a bit surprised at the aggressive tactics being followed.

Personally, I am not sure that I know what should be done about tax avoidance; I have little confidence in David Cameron‘s assurances. Perhaps, the most worrying aspect is that if you are big enough and wealthy enough, you can avoid paying large amounts tax; it’s a different story, of course, if you are a middle-class, salaried worker, with a mortgage.

For another excellent article on the “tax avoidance”, see this hard-hitting article by Richard Murphy

Perhaps,  it is time for a far-reaching review of taxation in the UK?

Any thoughts?
