Would you report someone for working a second job cash in hand

[dammit88]

…. And not paying tax? Earning around £100-200 extra per week on top of their normal pays job.

has anyone ever done this? Did anything happen?

Times are hard, no I wouldn't.

No I would not

No way

Absolutely no way

No.

No. If I really cared (and I wouldn’t, especially if they had kids for example) I might say to them they should declare it but I wouldn’t get them into serious trouble. You’d be a vicious poisonous jobsworth to do it.

No, I wouldn't. How do you know if they're paying tax or not?

Absolutely not

I couldnt really care less about the tax take from someone like this, I am concerned about how little taxation is paid by other means, some of which would affect you and me both, and this other person probably. Certainly the tax arrangements of big corporations concern me but then its said that if governmens come down hard on them and change the laws then they'll operate out of other countries to avoid it anyway

I would be keen to tax foreign home buyers.

No.

I wouldn't even consider it.

Nope

No

No

No.

I used to feel quite strongly that it was wrong, but now I think we’re living in a do what you have to do society, at least they’re contributing some services in the process.

No

Of course not

Loads of people have a side hustle. Fair play to them.

No, not in these circumstances.
2nd job cash in hand they offen charge less.
So if they are charging £100 instead of £120, nobody loses really.

What kind of job? Ethics aside HMRC have all sorts of ways of finding out. They can go back up to 20 years and charge swingeing interest and penalties on top of the tax.

No way, bloody tax rate in UK is ridiculous, leave them be.

No because I’m not a cunt.

No

No, I wouldn’t. I think anyone that did would be a twat
to do so.

No I wouldn't. And given how on-its-knees HMRC seems to be, I'm guessing that even if you did they wouldn't investigate. They'd surely fall apart under the pressure if they had to follow up on side-hustle shenanigans of this sort.
