Obviously I don't know everyone is avoiding tax this way.I do know a number of builders, for example, that keep two sets of books for declared and real earnings. One, earning over £35k about 20 years ago, paid less in tax for a year than I did in a month.
I've often been quoted much lower estimates for paying cash to tradesmen as well. I wonder why?
An investigation a few years back went into a large number of corner shops to buy items and see if they were entered via the till. A large percentage weren't - which is illegal. It's a known scam to avoid paying income tax and VAT.
I should think that plenty of us would like to get cash-in-hand for doing work, but if you're PAYE you just don't get a chance.
Lower wage earners I should think are less frowned upon doing this than the big time earners.
