So, it may be naivety on my part, but AIBU to be annoyed by another mum in my antenatal group who laughed at me for assuming that a legitimate business didn't make much money, and then boasted about dodging tax?
Story as follows: we had a random conversation today about how my DD's nursery doesn't make a huge profit. Other mum laughed and said 'of course they make lots of money, sbeanmum, they just don't declare it.' OK, if the nursery has a clever accountant, that's fine by me. What bugged me was that she followed it up with the statement 'I don't pay tax on tons of my earnings, and neither does my DH.' She thought this was hilarious! She is a beauty therapist so presumably does cash-in-hand work, and her DH is in the building trade and has boasted to my DH that his cash-in-hand work pays for all their luxury holidays.
AIBU to want them to pay tax on all their earnings, or am I being naive?
