"Whistleblowers who inform #HMRC about tax-dodging will get a cut of any money collected as a result, the government confirmed, as Rachel Reeves announced plans to raise an extra £1bn a year by closing the “tax gap”. Reeves vowed to collect £6.5bn a year by cracking down on #TaxAvoidance, which is legal, and #TaxEvasion, which isn’t."
"#Labour hopes to boost the public coffers by billions of pounds with its crackdown on #TaxAvoidance and #TaxEvasion. But prosecutions of the enablers of tax evasion have plummeted by at least 75% in the past five years, with fewer than five criminal cases in 2023-2024."
Prosecution of people who help clients evade tax in UK falls by 75% in five years -
We ignore tax evasion but concentrate on (real and imagined) benefit fraud.

My first #colourwork project I did as a #giftknit for a friend working in research on #taxevasion.
Little wobbly since I switched from #intarsia to #StrandedKnitting halfway through, but hey, I learned a lot :D
Any ideas on what kind of political wall hanging knit project I should do next?
Also probs to @blauertee for programming a GitHub tool that converts basically anything to a colour work chart!
