GANDHI
Yes, Mahatma Gandhi is a tax cheat. Turns out, few things spark a revolution like taxes imposed by the British Empire.
British rule in India included a series of onerous tariffs on salt that were paired with laws prohibiting the domestic production or sale of the essential commodity. This is why Gandhi made the Salt Laws the focus of his 1930 Salt March, when he and his supporters trekked some 241 miles to the coastal city of Dandi to illegally collect salt. In doing so, they not only avoided paying taxes on their salt, they also kept up the political pressure that ultimately led to Indian independence in 1947.
