It seems to be standard practice amongst small time tradesmen, to not be adverse to taking cash for jobs and failing to forward the VAT element to HMRC. They also fail to declare these little cash jobs for income tax and NI. The same people will undoubtedly be declaring their vehicle cost (including VED) as a bona fide business expense and evading tax even further. I do not think that these people have any right to complain about law abiding, tax paying road users. It's about time these tax thieves started paying their way...
