to report ex-lover for tax evasion?

I accept my motives are being driven by vindictiveness right now but so tempted to do this.

Background: former lover of mine. Things ended by him nearly a year ago. I haven't had contact with him since and remain angry with him and hurt by him. It was an open relationship. He is married. I wqs friendly with his wife but cut contact at the same time he ended things.

He was always somewhat dictatorial. Things had to be his way. About 18 months ago the family bought two pedigree springer spaniel puppies. God knows why - they'd always treated animals as expendable (rabbits lost or released into the wilds of West London; puppy escaped from garden and killed; snake lost etc). At the time they were talking about getting the dogs, I phoned the breeder and expressed my reservations. The breeder went ahead and sold the dogs to them.

Fast forward 18 months. DD is in touch with their DD. They have moved house. Lost one dog who was found 2 months later by a member of the public at death's door with lungworm etc. Other dog they gave away to someone else. I'm so bloody angry about these poor dogs.

I know that whilst they were living in London (they're not British citizens) they had a hefty, undeclared income.

WIBU to contact HMRC and let them know about the tax evasion? Hearing about those poor dogs is the last straw. But I accept that if I hadn't been screwed over by ex lover I wouldn't be contemplating this course of action.

Opinions please.

Use that linky thing upthread to report him anonymously, if you really and truly believe he's been illegally avoiding tax, then get on with the forgetting about him and his family. Hope his dd and yours drift apart friendship wise soon.

Slept on it. Won't report. Not because there's no evidence (they absolutely don't declare income and don't pay right amount of tax) but because I wouldn't do it to someone I liked if they were doing the same thing.

Having done a good job trying to forget about them these past 9 months, I'll endeavour to continue, despite information about their poor bloody dogs. Irresponsible fuckers Angry.

I think you sound like you have deep issues. Work on yourself.
