Small businesses in Crickhowell in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales take on a mission to copy the techniques used by multinational companies and set up a DIY tax avoidance scheme. Using complicated, but legal, accounting techniques, the UK’s biggest organisations run rings around HMRC and pay little or no corporation tax. The programme follows the Welsh town’s local traders as they visit tax havens, tax lawyers and even a taxman to see if they can level the playing field and legally avoiding paying tax. Presented by Heydon Prowse.
Program Schedule: 9pm – 10pm
