Mr. Cody said there had been much commentary in the media on a reference in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report to the 83 high wealth individuals with a taxable income less than the average wage in 2015. In his opening remarks he also spoke about how people could plan their wages and so forth. In the case of the 83 high wealth individuals with a taxable income less than the average wage in 2015, were there reasons for this in terms of planning to be evasive, etc?
