Hi Zoe. Thank you for your article but think you may be muddling tax and charity. Tax isn't charity; It's taken, not given. We don't have a moral obligation to pay additional tax but we do have a moral obligation to be as charitable as possible. No idea about Richard Tice but I'd hesitate to judge anyone's moral character by their tax return.
Hi David. If grey areas and legal tax avoidance schemes were removed so that Tice was forced to pay more, would that make him a better person? If not, why does it make him a worse person for paying less? In both instances he'd be fulfilling the same moral obligation to pay what was legally due.
