Emma Watson named in Panama Papers

13. Bet she does a Jimmy Carr.

And apololgises to her fans and leaves this particular scheme. She probably won't have a go at Cameron though.

Jimmy Carr has said it would be “morally wrong” to pass comment on another individual’s tax affairs – echoing words used by David Cameron when he publicly condemned the comedian over his tax affairs.

Four years ago Carr was singled out for criticism by the Prime Minister amid uproar over the use of complex financial schemes designed to minimise tax.

On Friday, without actually naming Mr Cameron, Carr hit back.

“I'm going to keep it classy," he posted on his Twitter account. "It would be ‘morally wrong’ and ‘hypocritical’ to comment on another individual’s tax affairs."

An investigation by the Times in 2012 exposed a single Jersey-based scheme that sheltered £168m a year from the taxman. The comedian was understood to have been the largest beneficiary of the legal tax avoidance scheme, which reportedly enabled members to pay income rates as low as one per cent.
The Prime Minister, speaking during a trip to Mexico in 2012, said to ITV: "I think some of these schemes – and I think particularly of the Jimmy Carr scheme – I have had time to read about and I just think this is completely wrong.

"People work hard, they pay their taxes, they save up to go to one of his shows. They buy the tickets. He is taking the money from those tickets and he, as far as I can see, is putting all of that into some very dodgy tax avoiding schemes.

"That is wrong. There is nothing wrong with people planning their tax affairs to invest in their pension and plan for their retirement – that sort of tax management is fine. But some of these schemes we have seen are quite frankly morally wrong.
"The government is acting by looking at a general anti-avoidance law but we do need to make progress on this. It is not fair on hardworking people who do the right thing and pay their taxes to see these sorts of scams taking place."

After Mr Carr's tax affairs were revealed, he apologised to his fans saying he "made a terrible error of judgement". He added that he was no longer involved in the tax shelter scheme .
