    "There are no legal implications for either party to pay in cash for work, or offering a discount for paying in cash in order to avoid administration/banking charges.

    However, this does not negate the trader’s obligations to declare the services and cash received to HMRC for TAX purposes. "

    So I'd actually be commiting no crime.

    Link to what?

    And ok then, only one of you is committing fraud. My original point in which I vented at the people providing the service off the books remains 100% valid.

    That magarine presentation was past tense, but I'm sure you still have a similar role.

    That someone knows the 'implications' by paying using a particular method.

    I think you should be upset at both of them Spook.

    I'm no longer a UK tax payer or resident so I'm more upset by the 1 billion SEK per year benefit fraud costs the Swedish state. That's roughly the same as the UK but we only have 10m people. Reported benefit fraud cases are up 71% year on year. Sweden developed as a very egalitarian state post the war but things are changing here.

    People getting paid-in-kind for work they do at the weekend. Another massive tax fraud scandal.

    We're providing links for everyday conversations and their meanings now are we?

    So back to my whole point, it's wrong and why doesn't it get discussed?

    Generally a market run, exploited by and aimed at the system cheating benefit scroungers.

    They love red diesel too.

    Yeah I agree, contractors do rake it in. A lot of them then moan about the costs of employing people or being self-employed.

    Most people see the odd guvvy job, or cash in hand work as being fine, they don't see it as fraud.

    Just as most people are happy to buy fake brands, illegal cigs, alcohol, dvd's and all sorts of other stuff.

    And that's precisely my point - why is that viewed as ok but as soon as someone commits benefit fraud the lynchmob is rounded up? They're all as wrong as each other.

    Do people really buy that stuff? I honestly never have, nor anything nicked.
