My very abusive ex has paid no tax, none at allfor around 20 years even though he has worked the whole time. What would you guys do?

Although its very tempting to get back at him, you really do need to think long and hard about possible repercussions, especially because you have a child together.

I'm sure if you leave your ex to it Karma will eventually catch up with him!

Nothing to do with him being your nasty x. It's your civic duty.
Send me the details and I'll do it

Id' have no sympathy if he was found out, but in your situation I think the tax evasion is a distraction from the real issue here - your frustration that he is still having such a negative effect on your life. That really is an issue you should be dealing with.

I recommend you try to find out more about the Freedom Programme which will help you find effective ways of loosening the fear your XP's is still controlling you with and finding a way you can still facilitate contact while protecting yourself and your DC.

Good luck.

I'm with Jasper on this one. If you send me the details I'll shop him too.

I think the two issues are separate, even though you do want to use it to get back at your exp he should have been paying tax for the past 20 years and evading tax is a criminal offence.

By the way if you have a restraining order on him and he starts making threats to you, regardless of whether he turns up at yours or just texts/calls you you need to tell the police.

Well yes shop him as he is a fraudster.

However abuse concerns aside, as it's impossible to say who shopped you.

Financially we're you claiming income related benefits? Such as wtc/ctc which is done on your taxable income. If it were declared on a falsified income, resulting in big overpayments. You'd both be liable as its a joint claim regardless of the circumstances. So that could be a huge amount over years.

The same with other jointly claimed income/saving based benefits, where it's been falsified.
