VAT missing trader 2.0
fuel NI 0.7
fuel rest UK 0.5
So thats 4.1 billion on just import fuels and high tax goods

Total fraud costs £30 billion a year. Thats £621 a year for each adult

Id rather 30 billion a year extra was being paid off on the national deficit than allowing you to have cheaper fags/booze which are luxury goods you DONT need.

its not about "paying too much tax", its the simple fact dodging the revenue is contributing to making YOUR country worse off.

But as long as your sorted thats all that matters right???

theres a big difference between £30billion and and £78 million

The total cost of MP expenses is only 0.2 % of the cost of the fraud carried out by people in this country Puts a bit more realistic perspective on it doesnt it??

Cigarette fraud is 6.5 times more costly than the MP expenses

Remember only £11 million of the expenses were fraudulent!!

That makes smokers smoking illegal fags 45 times a bigger problem than MP expenses

So smokers should look at the facts before bleating about being hard done by

WRONG. That figure is only what they have been caught for recently. They have been over claiming and false accounting since expences began resulting in Billions of pounds.

Smoking isn't a luxury though it's a habbit, same as bitting your nails or shaking your dick 3 times after going for a piss.

You'd be a fool to think that the £30 billion the government lose out on to "tax dodgers" would actually go back into clearing the countries debt.

The debt will never be cleared..

just people who smoke use hospital's? Dojj we have this thing, its unique. Its called the N.H.S its free treatment to everybody. But thinking about it you may have a point. Smokers only hospitals as smokers pay more tax they should have better treatment. Good idea mate
