All self employed cheat on their tax. I stand back and wait for an outburst of righteous indignation! It’s because they are in a position where they can. l worked professionally in an accountancy practice many years ago and served as a General Commissioner of Taxes for many years so l’ve seen it all. In the profession, at the completion of an audit, the accounts of the client had to be reviewed with a partner. I often expressed concerns about the private expenses being put through the books but that was between the partner and the client. The partner had the dilemma of turning a blind eye to the discrepancies or loosing a valuable fee payer. What could I do? Blab to the Revenue and get the sack? Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!
