Oh, I don't know. Plastics, pharmaceuticals, paints, inks, coatings,

Resorting to insults again, because you can't justify being a sponging

Should HMRC choose to investigate and find dodgy dealings, they will
investigate the customer as well. If the trader is judged guilty of evading
tax and they suspect collusion they can (& have) prosecute both.
