Tax cheat!
Lots of them around especially those who have money.
As for handing back his obe, what's the point. Just hammer him with penalties and interest on the money he should have paid

Morally Grendel yes
Not by my definition of morals he hasn't. Legitimately reducing your tax bill I see as a sensible and legitimate strategy.
Double standards everywhere you look with regards high-earners avoiding or evading tax....
Mr. Camerons daddy made most of his cash in this manner....stashing his wedge in Panama & Geneva....
Greedy twats...the lot of 'em.
To be fair, if I could pay less tax legally I would. I think most people would, wouldn't they?
Difference being though Nick is that "normal" blokes like us could always use a little extra cash....a bonus family holiday, a new family car, uni fees for kids etc.
Does Gary Barlow really need to deprive the nation of much need tax revenue just so he can buy yet another luxury yacht, Monaco mansion house, gold plated Ferrari or vineyard??
If I wanted to, I could "legally" sell a load of synthetic smart drugs & chemical highs to school children with learning difficulties ......it would not be illegal, but it would clearly be wrong.
I agree, but he is still a bloke at the end of the day. Why would somebody pay money if they didn't "need" to?

Why isn't it made illegal though?
Avoided tax
Avoided tax
Avoided tax, for good

Remember post Queens Jubilee the virtual sainthood conferred on him ,while the Establishment went after the irreverent Jimmy Carr for being less than fawning during his stint at that Jamboree.
Seems the hero of the day Is just the same .Wonder how many would have viewed James Cordons expose of his Psyche were it aired this week?
Most people can't pay less tax. As Leona Helmsley said: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."
If everybody could pay less tax, then society as we know it would collapse. Who would pay for the roads, hospitals, rubbish disposal, sewage maintenance, police force, research and development, military, education, etc. If people wish to pay no tax at all, I could point to some tinpot countries they could enjoy a 0% rate in.
That is what makes this stink. People like Gary Barlow were able to make their wealth thanks to everything our society offers, from the infrastructure to the wealth of an educated population. You don't see many multimillionaire pianists coming out of Darfur.
There is a social contract. You benefit and profit from society but pay a share back. People like Barlow are parasites. And he has the cheek to appeal for money from the rest of us for Children in Need, i.e. we are subsidising him.
I suppose the rich and sometimes famous don't use public services all that often and so have little vested interest in paying for them. The less people earn the more dependent they will be on these services and so have much greater reason to pay their taxes.
It isn't at all right but I suspect that is the mentality of people like him.

It is hard to envisage a day in the UK where one can get by without using public services. The roads outside are built, maintained and kept clean with tax money. Order kept and property protected by the police. The TV and internet we enjoy came about because of massive public investment. Electricity, gas, solar power, almost anything technological or medicinal had its research and development funded in part by taxpayer money. Parks, museums, libraries, radio, beaches, clean water, high food standards - I am sure they enjoy some of those things.
That is to say nothing of their pre-fame, pre-wealth dependence on the state or their dependence on a well-educated, wealthy and healthy consumer base in society. If the likes of Barlow are going to profit from that, they must give back too. Otherwise it is just pillaging.
