And I don't dodge taxes, myself.
NDS, if I have got you right, you are a barrister and presumably self-employed and pay your chambers a rent.
As the vast majority of barristers in the UK are self employed, why would this be so if it didn't as least confer some tax advantages.
It is scarcely credible that your learned profession would structure itself in a way that was the least tax efficient.US housing: it's not a bubble

We have to be self-employed in Chambers. The independent bar is self-employed. There are barristers at the employed bar as well, but they work for banks / insurance companies / CPS / etc
I pay rent to Chambers - 14% in my case, although it varies hugely. OH pays 21%....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
