    It's more credible than Acky's argument

    That these mythical rich white blokes earning &pound;20mill a year are depriving the country of money.

    People earning money that should be paid in taxes should pay it, regardless of who they are and what skin colour they are.

    My original point being that certain groups are highlighted/picked upon by the press/government because of their skin colour or social status, but others get away with it.

    An observation..........and like I said, why is it?

    It's almost like saying

    The amount of unclaimed benefit far outweighs the amount being defrauded therefore it doesn't really matter as much as we had that money left over anyway.

    To answer the initial posting though - we probably don't hear as much about the tax frauds because they have very good accountants and lawyers to cover it up for them.

    You clearly have comprehension problems.

    Note the use of a '/' symbol......

    How about the folks who buy from play.com?

    If you keep each purchase to under £18, you can avoid paying VAT. "Booze Cruises" are just the same.

    This type of thing will probably be included within the figures you state.

    Don't tell Acky if you have done either of these things, he'll have the Tax Police and Socialist Worker on you.
