I have no idea how to go about informing HMRC about possible tax evasion, but it makes me angry to think there's a family getting away with not paying their taxes when the rest of us have to do it.
Bit of background. He owns a business which was inherited from his father (I'll call him John for the purposes of this thread). His wife is on his payroll as a 'Director'. However, I know that she has very little to do with running the business as she spends most of the year abroad. I happened to read somewhere that having a spouse on your payroll, taking a salary when they don't actually do anything, is a way to evade tax. I know this probably happens all the time, but that doesn't make what they're doing right, it's a serious offence! I dont know how much money the company makes a year, but it must be a lot. Should I just leave it alone or report it? How do I report it? What if I'm wrong?
