There are very few options open to reduce taxes. It has been argued several times on this site that our system is equitable. Whilst I agree with the sentiment pay your taxes and obey the law, but when the take of any taxation system takes that means having to pay more than 50% on any portion of income is counterproductive in the long term. It is a disincentive to get ahead, has people thinking up ways to re-balance the "unfairness" and does see the exit of some high self starting high potential earners to more favourable personal tax locations. Many tech jobs in particular can be carried out anywhere in the world.
