The snail farm don: is this the most brazen tax avoidance scheme of all time?

Wildest article I've read in a while.

An interesting yarn, though the "most brazen" bit is hype.

The obvious fixes might require competent lawmakers and regulators, so don't hold your breath.

(From a quick search, the UK tried land value taxes about a century ago - it didn't end well.)

Tax avoidance is minimising tax the legal way, so nothing to see here, especially since this inventive scheme seems perfectly legal is properly structured.
