Summary
In TAXTOPIA a rogue accountant breaks ranks to share his journey from clueless naïf to skilled tax consultant -and in doing so blows the lid on the murky world of making the tax burdens of the ultra-wealthy disappear.
In the topsy-turvy world of tax avoidance, you can get richer by buying a yacht, the world's biggest exporter of coffee is Switzerland, and the Duke of Westminster pays less tax than you do.
Written with sharp wit and over-brimming with inside secrets, the anonymous author shows us that not only does the global tax system encourage dubious practice which favours the rich, but that it was specifically founded with that in mind.
If you suspect that tax is a rigged game, a con, designed to fleece the little guy, you are about to find out just how shockingly true that really is.
Welcome to TAXTOPIA.

Book of the year for me
Fantastic book, superbly written and exceptionally well narrated. Can’t recommend it enough, whether you’re interested in tax or not.

How Frustrating
As if life isn't difficult enough, the people we elect and trust to serve our best interests go and screw us all over with an extraordinarilly complicated system for collecting taxes, that favours the rich and self interests of those who set them. This book highlights the problem, and offers some solutions, but sadly I suspect none of our leaders have the will or capacity or bravery to do the right thing and put matters right.

Entertaining and informative
I really enjoyed this and came away with some valuable food for thought. Is my adviser working for me or their fee has been a thought of mine for a long time and this book confirms that even more so.

Revealing, funny and wise
Great entertainment. Who would have thought tax would be so entertaining and yet so shocking. Excellent narration from start to finish. We loved it.

Amazing narration, very humorous and engaging
Amazing narration, very humorous and engaging, great idea for how to reform the tax system but not super practical. Still very interesting to learn how grossly unfair the uk tax system is
