Cameron: Carr's tax arrangements 'morally wrong'


In the UK, Prime Minister David Cameron has described the tax arrangements of the comedian, Jimmy Carr, as "morally wrong."

It has been reported he uses a scheme - which involves channelling money through a Jersey based company - to limit the amount of income tax he pays.

The move is legal and the comic insists he does pay his taxes.

Labour leader Ed Miliband has said that it is wrong for David Cameron to single some people out:

"I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality, I think what politicians need to do is if the wrong thing is happening change the law to prevent that tax avoidance happening".
