Obviously this is not the correct way to reduce tax.
They should be opening the wine with a 'special' corkscrew, the use of which is licensed through a company registered in the Seychelles. $60 of the $100 therefore goes in 'licensing' to "Corkage.S.A.R.L." The steak was bought for $70 from "CMOT Dibbler Enterprises" registered in the Caymans, shipped via Luxemburg and sold at a loss
Once you've taken into account the rental of the building (Owned by Mrs Oligarch via Bermuda) and the tables, cutlery, etc which are owned by "Tables And Chairs.Co" registered in Maryland you realise the restaurant is running at a loss and the owner a Mr Oligarch is actually running it out of the goodness of his heart.
Mr Oligarch is a director in all the above mentioned companies, but you shouldn't worry about that. And since he isn't intending to stay in the UK on a permanent basis he retains his non-dom status so doesn't need to declare any income from those overseas companies.
