Tax: spirit of the law vs letter of the law

The letter of law is easy to understand and live by; UK laws are there in black and white for us all to follow and mean the majority of us don't steal or go joy riding.

However, when it comes to living within the spirit of the law, that's another thing entirely. If the cashier at the supermarket gives you back to much change you might be tempted to keep it and that's sort of stealing although I doubt there's a written rule that says as much (happy to be proven wrong if it is the case!).
