Not at all. I ahd the "zero tax paying scumbag" conversation with a middle manager type in my local a year or two back. I pointed out my total tax payments for my last trading year - CT, PAYE and NICs - comfortably exceeded his gross annual salary. If I'm a tax dodger, I'm clearly a very bad one...
