If only there was the same level of outcry about the UK tax gap as there is about fraudulent benefit claims. I'm not saying it's OK to scam the system - it isn't, but HMRC themselves think tax evasion, non payment of tax owed and the hidden economy cost the country in excess of £12bn in the 2017/18 tax year.
