In the Name of Charity

Résumé du livre

Tax avoidance was the financial phenomenon of the 1970s, just as asset stripping had been in the 1960s; and no one was more successful at it than Roy Tucker and Ronald Plummer of Rossminster, both of whom became millionaires by making tax avoidance schemes available to the businessman in the street as well as to the very rich. Rossminster's 'off-the-peg' schemes sought to deprive the Inland Revenue of up to �1000 million, drew on the ingenuity of most of the tax lawyers at the Bar as well as of prominent Conservative politicians, and claimed among their clients peers and pillars of the City, property developers and pop stars.
