I don't want to pay tax on my hard earned cash

I have had a cash business since i was 18 and have never paid any tax on my earnings.

It's now got to the point where my £40's are piling up in my bedroom in my shoe boxes. Now i want to buy a house/car and all of a sudden i have to prove my income and show accounts.

Is there any way i can get away with this without paying tax. It's not as if i'm as big as Pablo Escabar.

I need advice quick, otherwise my dream of a Ferrari 430 and a house in the countryside will be a distant dream once the taxman tracks me down.

Advice needed urgently.

    Are you registered as self employed? Are you paying class 2 NIC? Are you renting at the moment, living with parents or in a secure unit? Are you doing self assessment returns but not declaring your total income? What age are you now? What's your actual income been for the past 6 years?

    You do know that there's no such thing as a £40 note don't you? Sounds like you've been given a pile of duff currency. Where are you getting a house/car from? Is it a Transformer car?

    Why do you need the advice urgently? Is someone coming round the ward with your meds?

    Maybe you should start being a bit more honest and paying taxes like everyone is supposed to...

    More like a Tonka I'd guess.

  • good on you sir but i think the problem is that you are being asked for income but the simple thing is LIE? right? declare the very minimum you can to get approved a loan (is that what you are trying, a loan for your car???) if not what you can do is save your cash until you can buy the car with cash.

    if you declare the mimimum you can get away with you wont be taxed much
    or i guess what you can do is say that you receive money from friends and not from a work related source.
