    Cross-border (no) tax

    If someone has a contract in a non-UK country that pays a UK limited company, is it possible to evade tax and not get caught? Asking for a friend...

          I believe if your friend works in Northern Cyprus, under false name and fake passport, and the company paying the invoices is based in Panama, and you work only in cash and Bitcoin transactions, then there is no tax to pay as long as none of it goes through any western banking system.

            Hmm... that might work. Fren is very dodgy, and has fake passport, fake name, and fake girlfriend, but said he likes Cyprus as it "has many beach". What if the country is somewhere like Spain, and payment is in euros, and his bank promises not to say anything to anyone about incoming paymentz?

                Maybe the rules have changed again but Ally Fraser and Kenny Aimes had to leg it a bit sharpish, as the Spanish authorities closed in on them.

                Worst thing was they had no idea either how fast the Sans Souis could go due to Kenny only ever having pissed about in port on it........ they were last seen heading for Tangiers

                  Well, that was short-lived.
