Ian,
If you (as an employer) pay your staff salary by cash, without deducting tax and NI from it, you will definitely be prosecuted.  However, if you, as a customer, pay by cash to a cleaner it would be cleaner’s responsibility to declare the income.

bloody hell i wish i could charge £14 hour!im charging £8.50 but other companys in the area are advertising   at £8 hour  where abouts are you working for this sort of cash? :-*
if you quote a price per hour on the phone what makes you better or worse than anybody else?
We never quote an hourly rate and won't quote for a job until we've seen it!
If you send a 65 yr old cleaner and charge £8.50 per hour for 4 hours, a 25yr old cleaner could probably do the work in 2 hrs so what does hourly rate matter?
