> But why? Minimising tax legally is...legal, and not a trick. That's all tax avoidance is.

I think we are lost in translation here. I am not a native English speaker, so there may be a subtle implication in "trick" that you see and I don't.

I meant "trick" as in "trick of the trade", a clever/crafty way of achieving something that may not be obvious for less experienced individuals.

Re-phrasing my original comment for clarity: "Share buybacks are just a technique to lower WH tax, why do you see this as anything related to round tripping as related in this article?".
