I was only getting Dr. Keegan's opinion on the reason. I have raised my final point previously. The Comptroller and Auditor General carried out a report on it as well I do not believe it was a special report. It relates to hospital consultants who were able to establish companies for the purpose of avoiding income tax. I want Dr. Keegan to walk me through how an individual with a high net worth can establish a company for the purpose of booking his or her income. This has been prevalent in certain sectors. Does De. Keegan have data on how many individuals do this?
