There is a big difference between exploiting a technical loophole that lets someone get around tax laws and a tax avoidance scheme like ISAs deliberately set up by governments to encourage and reward a level of savings/investments.
The first involves looking for a technicality that lets one legally circumvent an obligation to pay tax, the second one is not circumventing any rules.
I understand that some people have no qualms about looking for and exploiting such loopholes, that's the nature of some, but at the same time wish HMRC would be a bit more efficient and diligent in clearing them up. I suspect some people have more contacts with and influence on politicians than Joe Public when it comes to tax affairs.
We can all see this other than the guy who gets paid to ensure the multinational company he works for is ‘tax efficient’, his pet like bot and the forum nazi.
