Grammar
Have multiplied
Hi,
"Tax evaders also make use of tax loopholes, and the truth is that over the last decade they have multiplied." [From George Osborne's article in The Observer.]
My question is: what have multiplied? Tax evaders or tax loopholes?
Thank you.

Hi, In terms of grammar, loopholes. But really, the intended meaning is not clear. However, I woud expect the context to make it clear.

Thank you, Clive, for your useful reply. The author proceeds with loopholes but in the context of tax evasion by tax cheaters.
