So, not vast majority as you said - 51%?
53%
That's 10% paying 53% of the tax, you don't consider that a significant majority in context?
Because this rate will be after placing assets in spouse's name, setting up trust funds, investments in long term projects, living in Jersey, The Isle of Man, Monaco etc.
The 9 billion figure (a few % of tax) is for avoidance and evasion,
which includes your scenarios, as those are avoidance, as provided by HM revenue.
Stop making **** up or just getting things plain wrong.
The chart is meaningless unless you know the actual earnings.
Says you?
You are advocating they don't pay their 45% tax, the chart proves you wrong on the latter, as well as HMR itself saying only a small amount is avoided.
It's only meaningless because you can't understand a simple bar chart, or you don't think paying 45% of tax is enough (but you never said that, you claimed they don't pay it)
Here, read it for yourself

The vast majority of UK individuals and businesses pay the tax that is due. (some dont)
and tax evasion and avoidance together accounted for £9 billion of this.
We are increasing the number of specialist personal tax inspectors to prevent evasion and avoidance of inheritance tax, using offshore trusts, bank accounts and other entities.
I'm not sure how much plainer I can make this for you?
The evidence is clear, they mostly pay their due, some don't.
"taxing the rich more" is a smokescreen, it would barely dent the deficit.
And Bearing in mind that 9 billion is everything, not just rich people, but corporations, black market (think fags/booze), and cash in hand.
How's it feel to be wrong about everything?
