#14 Tax avoidance: the musical

When Richard started trading online back in the early '90s, the internet was a shiny new thing. Since then, it's transformed the High Street. Tax abuse gave online retail an unfair head start. Combine that with monopolistic behaviours and there are still plenty of challenges to overcome. In the final episode: what can we learn from Richard's fight?
