Landlord Tax Evasion.. AIBU to report?

[StickyIcky]

My ex partner and I was in a relationship for six months. Throughout the whole time, I found out that he cheated on me (he disposed of me for someone else immediately). Towards the end, he told me about a rental property that he was renting out, and boasted that he doesn't pay tax to HMRC. I reported him after we split
Was I being unreasonable?

Yep

Yeah

Of course not. The country would be screwed if no-one paid tax.

Nope

YANBU. Why should a tax cheat be allowed to get away with that?

Why do you think you are?

No. IMO tax evasion by LLs is rife, and as a LL who does pay tax I would like to see a lot more of them reported.

Would you have reported him if you had not split up?

I would have done it too OP. He shouldn’t be committing crimes if he doesn’t want to get caught.

Hell no.

Nope! I'd have done the same!

Any number of people stood on their doorstep and clapped for carers and the NHS and bemoaned them not being paid enough whilst at the same time not declaring all their income and paying taxes properly. I think you are right to have reported him. Think of it this way - your actions might pay for a nurse for a year. We should all be doing this and we should all be avoiding cash only businesses if we think the reason for the cash only policy is to avoid declaring tax.

Yes I did repo him. And yes I am proud of myself that I did. I hope it caused immense uproar, too. Should he not have cheated, I would have left it. His problem, not mine... 😅😏

If you are so clever why not report him as soon as you knew?

After all, that is the morally right thing to do…. Unless you like the extra money and wealth you could have potentially got if you divorced?

Zimmerframe123 cos I like stirring shit to those who have wronged me... Who wouldn't!?

Thank you

You should have reported tge scumbag as soon as you knew but presumably you were happy with the lifestyle for the six months?

@Sillawithans

Yep

Why?

Never said we were Married!!!

It's not about the tax, it's the fact he cheated! Has he not have cheated you probably would've said nothing and gone alone with it. I don't think you can take the moral high ground tbh.

YANBU to report him.

YABU to want a pat on the back for doing the right thing when you only reported him to cause him trouble - not because you had any objection to what he did.

I think I can tbh. I definitely got him back aha

I think I did grrrrrreat!!! As Tiny the Frostiest Tiger would say anhhh..
