Malt 379 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 You'd be up to your neck in the proverbial! Probably a fine and you'd have to pay all back tax for your first offence, but that's just a guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JohnGalway Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 You'd be better off worshipping the devil and lying to God about it, the penalties in that situation would be more bearable. I would imagine they would give you, and your employer a whopping great fine, audit you both and bring both of you to court if they could To be honest, with all the ducking and diving that does go on in life these aren't people you want to be messing with.

Top reply that JG, I couldn't have put it better myself. I have had dealings with the tax man years ago, being self employed on a 715 cert, I managed to get it sorted in the end, but the tax man is one not to mess with, they do have the power to seize any of your goods, house, car and any thing they can get money for. The courts dont like tax fiddlers/dodgers as thats where their wages come from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JohnGalway Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Nope, never worth it IMO. One very important thing to remember about the taxman is that you're always guilty until you prove 200% yourself innocent. I wouldn't for one second rely on a made up story, all they will be interested in is figures, not facts. If the figures don't add up you're f****d. If you don't have receipts from the year dot you're f****d. Why do you think most people are scared shitless of the taxman If you've something to lose, he'll take it.

Good advice mate, they have more power than the police. I crossed swords with them once and it cost me a fortune in accountants fees and i was innocent.
