    Things like this make you want to put razors in false wallets and start walking around the streets like you've just won the lottery..

    Why pay the builder in cash?

    usually cheaper...

    why would that be? You weren't trying to defraud the taxman (ie me, you and every other honest taxpayer) were you?
    Eh? It is the responsibility of the person receiving the money to pay their taxes, it is not the business of the person paying for a good or service.
    Sorry to hear about your loss sem69.

    I don't think the Revenue would take the same view. If you enter into a transaction where you know that a fraud on Customs and Excise or HMRC is being commited then you too are guilty of an offence. Sorry don't have the authority to hand. I suspect the builder would not be providing a legitmate invoice for his services or a proper receipt for payment as he won't be putting it through his accounts :evil: !

    You wouldn't be an Irish .............. builder by any chance :lol: ????

    I work in Covent Garden and the Police where in my office yesterday 18/11 wanting to look at our CCTV cameras to see if they could track a man and a women who are Romanian committing this type offense. Must be the same two.

    Blimey the police are actually doing something?! Where is your office? Anywhere near Henrietta Street?

    Thanks for the sympathy everyone!

    Stukeley Street, the copper said that they are after two Romanians who are operating in the covent garden area..They didnt show up on our cameras.
