In 1987 representatives of the private equity industry lobbied the Inland Revenue to reduced their tax bills. This was successful and they now pay 28% instead of 47%.

The Good Law Project has a petition against this and is also crowdfunding in order to legally challenge HMRC.
Here's a link to the petition:
