You'll never stop it. It has always been one price for cash and one for cheque etc. It may be wrong morally but I've never had a problem paying cash. Can't see many people paying their window cleaner by card either. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40561807 [Post edited 11 Jul 2017 6:55]

It's amusing to see the hypocrisy of people who will rage for companies like Starbucks and Amazon to pay tax that they are not required to, then turn a blind eye when paying the window cleaner, decorator or garage who illegally avoid paying VAT. |
Yeah, there's absolutely no difference between the two examples you've given there at all.  |  | | |

Maybe they should try and get corporation tax off the big companies rather than worry that a window cleaner is getting a little bit of cash in hand for a low paid job - most of which will be spent back in the local community.
We had an invoice paid in cash the other day - an absolute pain as costs loads to pay it in so will have to use it for credit cards etc over then next few months until it dwindles away. |
Nah, they're the same according to blue_oyster. These window cleaners must be avoiding Tax in their billions just like the big companies you mentioned. | | | |

£6bn of untaxed income according to the report. Laugh that off if you wish. |  |

Not even going to put a dent into Comrade Corbyn's plan to wipe the £100bn student debt ... the thought of working hard and paying my taxes to fund all of those luuvies pretending to study for 3 years horrifies me ... |  |

You're (probably willfully) missing the point. What should be priority? Tax Avoidance by individuals or Tax Avoidance by multinationals? Do you think the latter might be a higher figure than £6bn quoted? | | | |

I don't agree with that policy to be honest. Shouldn't be a priority. | | | |

But it is stupidity to have that amount of debt on top of all the other debt in the UK.
& as the SLC say that less than 30% is being paid back the debt will become a major problem when the SLC hands it back to the government & we have to pick up both the debt and the SLC mark up. |  | | |

Of course when the students end their studies they can decide to fcuk off abroad, get a proper job and never pay the money back | | | |

You ever been to university? Most courses have less than 10 hours a week teaching time and even then only about half the students show up. Its relatively easy to gain a pass next to no work for 10 months a year and then engaging in a spot of cramming around exam time. | |

Why do you assume that self employed people don't pay NI? There's just a different 'class' of NI to pay, and if at the end of the year there's additional tax and NI to pay, you pay it, just like anyone else. |
Be careful, the thread police say you shouldn't respond to this statement. I got caught but got off with a caution. |  |

The point should be to see where the largest amount of tax is being avoided, and to try and recoup as much as possible. What's your point? | |

Agreed. Attendance monitoring is a major issue in universities. Students simply can't 'not turn up' | |

They did when I was there! I'm not making this up. We had 9 hours of contact time a week and attendance would be about 60% max. This was circa 12 years ago so apologies if times have changed. | |

There are a lot of 'builders' who cheat the VAT man.
Many who used to be firms have split and now work as one man bands (Altogether) to keep below the VAT threshold. Some even have several businesses so they can work and not charge VAT
They give you a number to go to the merchants so they don't have to charge for materials either.
Some even work up to the VAT threshold then go off on holiday
It's all happening which is why getting a reliable builder is more difficult than ever |
There are lots of new laws clamping down on this.
General Labourers will do extremely well nowadays to get paid through their own company, and crappy umbrella companies rake in the rewards. |  |

In that case she is an idiot. With statements like this it surprises me that Labour are managing to do so well at presenting themselves as in touch and down with the kids. They're a bunch of self-righteous, well healed, radical champagne socialists. they're all loaded so paying double the price of an Uber for a black cab means nothing to them. they have no thought to the working man who may not be able to afford to worry about whether using Uber is 'morally wrong'. |
I'd avoid Uber only because their aim is to do away with the drivers. I'm sure it makes me a ludite, but I don't want to be aprt of that unless there's no other option. |  |

According to the Land Registry 2016 was a racord year for Cash transactions in house selling / buying which only goes to prove the black economy is alive and kicking |
I think you are jumping to the wrong conclusion. The land registry mean transactions that aren't funded by mortgages. This is usually because people have sold a house, made a killing from it and then just bought another house with the procceds. Very likely to happen with an ageing population with huge capital values wanting to downsize. |  |

That reminds of a tangent actually. After Grenfell someone made a point about Vancouver introducing a vacancy tax on landlords, and how Sadiq Khan should look to do the same.
While I don't want to open old wounds, the housing market could do with some serious scrutiny and part of it has to be the combination of reasons for this being things like you mention surely? |  |

I hear 1 in 14 houses in Cambridge is empty. The city's rent and property prices are absolutely bananas. Here's the first 2 bed terraced house on Rightmove http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-49186506.html
Something really needs to be done to stop people exploiting the market. I'd welcome any measure that looks to stop buy to let empires or makes people make a contribution to a situation they are enabling. [Post edited 11 Jul 2017 19:02]

Whilst taxing the extra income assets of those who have exploited/played the property market would be political suicide it does seem to be a ticking time bomb that is already causing severe problems.
The homeless crisis in Manchester is disgusting and seems to be tacitly ignored and pushed back time and time again. I wonder what the national picture has become?
I wonder if making it impossible to buy properties for cash and all rents etc. monitored in a way proposed for cash in hand work is achievable? | |

Completely agree with this. The problem isn't the decent landlords its all the properties sat empty. I think this could work well. | |
