I wouldn't say anything. Not my style.
I also believe that what goes around comes around. And it is alright pulling the odd scam here and there, but very few people are clever enough to stop once they get away the 1st time.
It's then they get caught and it all comes crashing down.
I try to not worry about what other people are doing. Unless they have inspired me.

He could just have a very tax efficient business model, or transferred his existing business into a company and has not used up his goodwill allowance. Either of these might mean that he legally is not paying tax at the moment.

The more we report people the better off we all become.

It is not okay to choose which rules and laws to obey you either do follow them or you dont.

Would you "grass" a kiddie fiddler?

If all taxes were paid either taxes would reduce (?) or service standards ie National Health Service would improve.

It is not grassing it is standing up for what is right.

Many people find themselves un-employed through no fault of their own and the money they receive from the state to feed their families comes from our taxes.

If you make enough to have to pay tax pay it and help others.

The answer is I HAVE reported somebody like that and I would do it again. Not paying tax, possibly claiming benefit as well is stealing from me and you.

There is a sort of feeling that fiddling your tax is an acceptable crime because you are only fiddling the government but we have to pay more tax to make up for them.

No tax = scumbag.

An old w/c told me years ago that he only ever declared two thirds of his round, a third of it didn't appear in his books. If he had twelve houses in a street, only eight of them were on his books.
Now unless the tax man was to actually follow him and note down every job, and find out all the prices, he was never going to get caught, and as far as I'm aware he never was.
I itemise all my customers and the price paid, he said there was no need to, he would just write down George street £24 Peel street £30 etc. His accountant accepted this.
There is fiddling going on, and we all know there is, massive corporations operate from offshore accounts and pay very little tax, it's wrong but it happens.
Now if anyone tells me that they have never done a one off job and forgotten to put it down, well they have got a better memory than me.

the money does go back into the economy though, so its not all bad.

There is a huge difference from not declaring something like £20 pounds week and working and earning a living of £hundreds and just keeping it all.



exactly ::)
