MSE Poll: Do you pay cash in hand for any of these services?

When paying a tenner to a window cleaner it seems daft to use anything other than cash.

It’s up to him to declare his income properly and honestly.

It`s difficult, this one. I`d pay cash unless it was a service that I might have a problem with at a later stage..eg. a builder. Plumbing, window cleaning etc, nobody has a facility for one to pay by credit/debit card. I would prefer to pay by this way as it`s traceable and more revenue would probably be collected. This would help pay for our schools and our hospitals .The culture of cash -in-hand is unsustainable if we want a better society. My friend`s husband is a plumber and he has a , "cash drawer" where he puts his cash(obviously). I know he gets paid for some of his jobs CIH. His wife uses this money to pay for dance /drama/ballet etc classes for their little girl. This is spreading the money around and other people benefit..like the dance teacher..but it does mean that PAYE people are at a disadvantage.

Trillions are lost deliberately by this government - the same party that passed all the tax loop hole laws so they and the people who donate to the conservative party can get away with paying no tax at all.

The prime ministers husband works for a company that promotes tax avoidance, this says it all.

I think we should all stop paying tax until the 1% start paying, especially the royal family who are the biggest takers of all, the queen who is the head of the church of england could afford to rehouse every single person who is homeless in the UK but she chooses not to, that says a lot to me about her religion and all the rest of the religions in the world that do nothing to help those who really need it.

People who are billionaires will never use all their money, it's wrong that they keep it in bank a/cs - there is so much more it could be spent on to help millions in the world who need help.
