Except when the OP is a self employed driver as most workers for takeaways legitimately are. Then it is the workers responsibility. OP is not an employee. Provides own vehicle, chooses own hours, can decide to work or not to work, takes the risk with car insurance, no sick leave, no annual leave...they are all pointers to self employment. The client is not paying minimum wages plus a mileage rate for use of own car. They pay a fixed amount per delivery. No deliveries = no payment.

The employer would have to prove ( and pass the HMRC rules of self employed ) that the employees are self employed .

Why are you all attacking the OP ? ( apart from it being a national past time on here ).Employers who dont pay taxes are robbing all of us , not to mention they probably ignore all employees rights plus health and safety issues

The OP has posted this before. It's not attacking it's pointing out the obvious. The OP has been a part of this fraud for years and thinks there is nothing wrong with it until now.

The employer in this case may be paying taxes it's just hearsay. Tax on profits is only 20% and can be legitimately shared amongst the owners to use up all their own personal allowances. The owners are probably husband and his partner and the brother and his partner. That's already 4 people to divide the profits around. That's already £32,000 of tax free income. The employer can claim working and child tax credits. Then there is all the expenses. There isn't much profit in a takeaway despite what the OP extrapolates from busy Friday and Saturday nights.

Very easy to do with a takeaway and having self employed drivers doing deliveries. They are almost always self employed. It would not be worth paying minimum wage and 45p a mile and having all the correct insurance in place when you could just pay £2.50 a delivery.

That IS benefits money!! Why have you waited 7 years? You must have had a pretty serious falling-out with the takeaway managers...!

This exact same thread has popped up under a different User ID before now, at least once. Why are you pursuing it on here and not with the HMRC or your local Trading Standards people?

reading the other thread there are so many discrepancies that I do not believe this at all.

I dont mind to be interviewed. I dont have anything to hide. I even took the step to report them once the owner said to me openly.

You are aware that you will also be liable to pay the last 7 years taxes?

Investigations can take a long time. I would say at least two years... Be prepared to loose the home you are renting off your employers too.

Im not so sure about that , Its the employers responsibility to pay tax and N.I , not the employees

Wrong. It is ultimately the employees responsibility to ensure tax is paid.

If you are earning that little then there is no tax or NI to pay on your wages so there is nothing illegal going on there.

And why can't he own three houses? Two of them are being let out so are probably buy to let businesses.

I have two houses, I rent one out. My taxable income is less than yours. Does that mean I'm on the fiddle? No.

Oh, and as you've lied and posted this again under yet another username, I don't believe you do only earn £6k and that you're only working 16hrs. I bet you're on the fiddle just as much as you claim your boss is who, as we showed last time, probably isn't.
