    Paying Cash in Hand

    link

    Report said those paying cash-in-hand to get a discount were not ‘good citizens’
    I pay cash in hand for some stuff - the local guy who does my plastering for example. He's only charging £100 per day so , frankly, I don't really begrudge him with his creative accounting and I don't see why I should be made complicit in tax evasion - the onus is surely on him?

    Anyhow, that "not good citizens" line is fecking creepy.

    hmm

    He said migrants should be barred from operating on a cash-in-hand basis, urging ministers to make it a condition of new work permits for migrants to show they could take electronic payments.
    bloody racist.

    now have they worked out why travellers on benefits always have brand new cars?
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Fecking racist. My Polish builder is so proud of living in Britain he pays the right taxes. There as my British fencer openly admitted screwing the taxman.

          On the one hand you object to cash in hand but on the other you are fencing stolen goods.

          HYPOCRIT!

            Your local cash in hand builder still pays more tax than Starbucks or apple.

              That's just the beginning... there are rulzes for naughty people like you.

                I insist on paying cash in hand, as I feel every penny denied by hook or by crook to the Government makes the UK a freer country.

                A flush government is a tyranny, either established or in the making, and a skint government means freedom (and feck the NHS!)

                But being a smoker, I unfortunately pay more than my "fair share" of taxes.

                  Catch 22, Banks ask for employment contract or evidence of self employment just to open a current account. How on earth are they going to setup someone to receive electronic (presumably card) payments (as anyone can receive electronic bank transfers)

                    They don't (or shouldn't) for a basic bank account though.
