It should come down to a reasonable test. What is reasonable? If you ask Joe Blow off the street if Lewis Hamilton actually owned that jet, he would look at the situation and say yes. If you asked Joe Blow off the street if there is any reason that multiple companies are created and the jet is rented to the same guy…

But they don’t allow them... This is people knowingly dodging the taxes. It’s like saying don’t blame the thief if a store doesn’t have an alarm system.
