Crickhowell (Crug Hywel, Crughywel, or Crucywel in Welsh) is a small town in southeastern Powys, Wales. It lies on the A40 between Abergavenny and Brecon. The town is notable for being the first British settlement to use the same tax avoidance tactics used by big businesses to avoid paying taxes themselves, in protest of how large corporations are allowed to use legal loopholes to avoid paying any UK tax.
