Not Declaring Tax to HMRC

skintandscared_2

My OH is a self employed painter and decorator and invoices weekly, but tax is deducted before he's paid.

The OP trades as he feels he should. What anyone else does is not up to him. That is their business alone. Fair play to him, but the way I look at it, is that everyone pays one way or another. We are taxed on everything, just to live. If some want to take a chance, that is their choice and not mine. Carry on as you are and leave well alone as far as grassing others, who for all you know could be saying one thing and doing another. At least they are all working.

Yes, because some people evade it and the rest have to make up the shortfall.

I have to say I disagree.

This is suspected illegal activity.

If my neighbour appears to be breaking the law by damaging property, harming someone, or committing fraud it is my business to try to get any wrongful act stopped.

In the OP's situation, the right thing to do is inform the authorities who can investigate.

I totally agree with you, but there are far worst spongers who have never done a days work or bought their houses through social payments. The other workers mentioned will be paying out just to do their job and not everyone of them will be robbing the system.
