Paying a plumber cash in hand is "morally wrong" because it denies the
revenue vital funds, a Treasury minister said as the government outlined
new ways of cutting down on £5bn in tax avoidance.
What he actually said was that paying a plumber cash in hand *in order
to get a discount* was morally wrong. However, that does not make such a
good story for the newspapers; most people would probably already have a
fairly good idea that the plumber was probably not going to declare such
a payment.
