If you're thinking of a "tax haven", the Cayman Islands, Jersey and Bermuda instantly spring to mind, but not Crickhowell.
In this TV-backed experiment, small businesses in the Brecon Beacons town, in South Wales, make it their mission to copy the techniques used by multinational companies and set up a DIY tax avoidance scheme.
After all, if big firms can take themselves "offshore" and pay little or no corporation tax to protect their profits, then why not a small Welsh town?
The show follows the business people as they visit tax havens, tax lawyers and even a taxman to see if they can level the playing field and legally avoid paying tax.
