“Show class the remaining factfile slides on tax evasion. What do students think of those who refuse to pay tax or try and defraud the benefits system?

“Can they think of any example they may have heard of in their local area?”

then later, when this is standard practice, add extra legislation that those (including teachers) who knowingly withold passing on information of possible tax evasion are guilty by association... kerching for hector.

Anyone have a link to the modules?

I'd like to download them, out of curiosity, before HMR&C no doubt block access to them.
