Not a bad idea.

Compile a list of contractors at your site and submit an anonymous dossier to the IR about how they boast about "having lots of money" and "pay little tax" and how they seem to put everything on expenses.

The IR will be so busy screwing your colleagues they won't notice your own, small tax "mistakes".

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has complained about a recent advert from HM Revenue & Customs.
It has asked the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to take action over the advert which was published in national newspapers on 14 December 2005.

Using an image of a plumber hiding under a sink, the advert encouraged people to report self-employed workers who do not pay their taxes.

The FSB claimed the advert was "harmful and misleading".

Revenue & Customs apologised if the intention behind the advert had been misinterpreted.

The intention of the advert is perfectly clear, grass on your neighbour before your neighbour grasses on you!
