I am thinking of reporting someone else.
I undertook cleaning work for them.
I told them that I pay my taxes (there is a language difference) they went to lengths to tell me that they ask customers for payments then when the customer asks for an invoice they tell them that if they give an invoice they will have to ask for more money because of taxes, and the customer says "Okay, no need for invoice". They seemed to want me to work off the books.
They told me about lots of jobs they have for cash.
They told me about someone that worked for them previously regularly.
No way on gods green earth am I putting myself at risk to cheat the revenue and get in trouble, to be dishonest and why? So they can make extra money? I prefer to pay tax.
Weeks later I am still waiting to be paid.
Then they want to run round the houses, be difficult, and pretend it is because I didn't send an invoice.
It then took a further two hours to get their business address from them.
Looks like there is a Limited company in the husbands name.
No VAT number, so they must be keeping earnings below the threshold with this scam.
I reminded them that they stood and told me about their tax evasion and at the time I advised them that cash work is very risky and they should avoid doing it, and if they do do it, to never ever ever tell anyone. I could not believe they were telling me all those things when they barely knew me.
If this woman doesn't stop abusing me by text and email and being dramatic I will supply all the information to the HMRC. Then she can have something real to get in a state over. Asking to be paid for work I have done shouldn't be this taxing.
If people are going to break the law, tell everyone, then be abusive to the people they told it all to, they only have themselves to blame. If that money does not hit my bank account by 5pm today...
Strangest person I have ever done work for.
If she is like this with everyone, bragging about evasion then refusing to pay for services I doubt she will get away with it for long.
The good news is I got a job last Tuesday and wont have to be an honest citizen in a sea of scammers.
New employer will be paying the tax over for me before any money goes in my bank account.
Lovely.
