Apparently tax fraud is estimated to cost us £15m, 10x benefit fraud. Doesn't make for such a vote winning headline though. I'd hoped this govt would put spin before substance like the last one.

Feeling a bit worried, Sticks?

Yeah, all those contractors paying themselves 'minimum wage' from their companies to hide it from the tax man. Funny what champagne lifestyle you can get on minimum wage these days.

This could seriously fk up the lifestyle of one family I know about. All on benefits, yet have a family holiday every year. In the Maldives. All inclusive, £20,000 for the six of them. Every year.

How? how does that work? (is there 6 in a house claming, but all working) can you explain, also will a credit report catch them out?

There are some morons getting benifit cheats making an extra £200 a week tileing or cleaning windows to Drug dealers and tax todgers. Show me any benifit cheat going on a trip to the Maldives driving around in £30k BMW's.

And this ridiculous scheme dreamed up by this clueless goverment wouldnt work as most of these benifit/drug dealing tax dodgers pay everything by cash.

I wonder how much of this is a scare tactic. It worked for disability didn't it, announce everyone was going to be re-assessed and a few million withdrew their claims. Might work with this, scare people into stopping claiming.
