Perhaps more benign than a Daesh caliphate where the populace are more likely to run out of hands.

Surely 'less soon' Al?
I think sorting out the cash problems in the Cayman Isles would contribute more to the exchequer than targeting window cleaners or the guy who fixed your gate post.
Besides, don't most rich folk use 'cash in hand' labour to do their dirty work

Gero, I think they're targetting both

A few years ago, I spoke to a builder friend about this. He didn't know anyone in the trade who bothered much with VAT, and he knew hundreds of people. All financial records were made up, I guess. It's a huge problem, but of course if everyone paid VAT then prices would go up (a) because of the 20% VAT (b) to pay for proper accounting practices

I think improper accounting practices usually cost more than proper ones. At least that's what a friend told me who had to look for that kind of service. Ahem.

Labour promise to print unlimited amounts of cash after 2022, so no worries, the black economy will be booming again then.
