Pretty gutted I would think.

So they are very good at reporting "wrong doings" to authority.
So if you happened to pay your Polish cleaner in cash, even if the cleaner was doing everything legit because they actually have a well-run cleaning company with lots of local clients, the kid would report the transaction as being "wrong" even when it's not.

Actually it says
“What do students think about people who try to avoid paying taxes? Is it a victimless crime? What kind of penalties should such people be given when they are caught?”
I can choose to hold a bunch of chinamen hostage in my cellar to do my garden that is illegal. I can also claim on my parliamentary expenses to do my garden, both of those are illegal.
I can claim disability living allowance and spend my life in a wheelchair with crippling pain with a genuine illness. Not illegal.
I can claim disability allowance for a bad back and take up body building, ballroom dancing etc. likely to be illegal.
the borders are being blurred intentionally. Asking minors to make those distinctions and report them is most definitely unsavoury, but of course any person has a responsibility to report when they see a law broken. I'm not sure I want an 11 year old encouraged to do it for taxation though.

I'd add though, having read the full thing, that I can't really find anything that offensive in there; other than the translation of "cost per individual" and the very small pie chart area for Corp tax and VAT. I simply do not believe the VAT figures at all.Last edited by Scoobos; 27 July 2012, 15:49.
