Atos included in that? they have stolen/not paid corporation tax therefore stealing from the UK taxpayer

Maybe they used legitimate loopholes to avoid CT/tax liabilities as I'm sure thousands of people/businesses do every year. Who knows..... certainly not me.

Maybe you should post your questions in the Discussion Forum

A married couple living together full time, both unemployed and who you know to be claiming at separate addresses.
I personally find it a moral dilemma

Really - do you pay taxes or do you live in Switzerland?

They're both wasters by the way, one of them has NEVER worked in his entire life.

the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion , is a very thin cell wall (unless you are a friends with the government)

The clever Tax accountants are usually one step ahead of the IR/Treasury.

192.com is definately accurate in this case cos i know both addresses very well.


Somebody nicking my car would obviously affect me directly so i'd want any info i could get.

Benefit scamming isn't a victimless crime really but its indirect.

It's entirely your decision in this case but I know that I'd have no issue reporting a crime if I was absolutely sure of the facts.


Good luck with what ever you decide

Yeah well morally speaking we're all on our own but its a wider question than just the two idlers i know.

I do have some empathy with them BUT......

please sir I know the answer !!!!


a single person gets about £75 a week , but this government chooses to use the figure of £120 for an unemployed person when working out a weeks wage in a drugs court case , so 2 of them claiming £75 each , they can now afford the fine , and a mcdonalds/spliff on the way home
