To report inlaws for tax fraud

115 replies

User112 · 01/09/2021 01:01

My inlaws have likely committed tax fraud on about 60k (in another country). It feels so wrong when so many hard working people pay their taxes.

Aibu to report them?

Daily mail can fuck off

Yeah. They’ll never be able to steal your OP now you’ve said that in a different post! Hmm

I wouldn't, not on "likely".
If you had hard evidence then really that's a matter for your conscience but ywbu to do it based on a hunch.

Spite is a very very unattractive trait

I’d only report if I had good evidence. Taxes can be very complex and just because you think someone should be paying tax, it doesn’t mean they’ve committed tax fraud. There are many loopholes in tax laws and using one, while morally questionable, isn’t fraud.

For example, many rich British have all their assets and wills registered in Singapore as there is no inheritance tax there. All they have to do is make sure they were resident abroad at the time of their death (living in Monaco is a popular choice) and hence no French inheritance tax would be due.

Sorry mixed British with French, meant rich French, not British.

I Assume you were bored and wanted to write a post that would get responses Wink, but I'll play along... no you should not report your in laws for possible fraud its got absolutely nothing to do with you, unlikely your dh would forgive you, you have obviously not got a shred of evidence, maybe just concentrate on your own life/try and go to sleep if it's the middle of night and you're bored

Totally agree plan it’s way too complex to have any idea of anyone else’s affairs. My own are a mix of self employed, employed, inheritance, property, capital gains, savings etc etc.
In the absence of a confession (linked with full details so I actually understood what should have happened and what did not happen) I’d have absolutely no inkling whether fraud/evasion was involved.

I think we should all be aware that the OP has from on MN for posting about issues with the in laws.

Rosscameasdoody · 01/09/2021 11:23

Sorry that should read ‘has form’ - bloody spell check !!

@choli

Is there something going on? Have you fallen out with them? No, she adores her in laws. She just loves the taxpayers of a country in which she does not live more than her in laws.

Blimey how on earth do you know that much about your in laws finances?
My bank accounts and tax affairs are private and I keep them to myself thus avoiding them being plastered over the internet by others

Endlessly And all common thread is that in laws are vile
