Raids On Businesses

[warey4life]

This is my local Indian takeaway. First I've heard of it:

‘Illegal working’ probe hits Devon takeaway

This is what I think.

If everything is cash then they declare most of that cash including what comes from the drug deals then the Tax and VAT man sees that they are a legit cash only business thats avoiding card fees from banks thats declaring a good whack of cash. They make themselves look an honest tax paying meat eating business.

That's why there 10 "kurd Cutz" within 1/4 mile on one of my local streets. Each with about 6 "barbers" and 1 customer. They use them as fronts for drug money / illegal ciggs money laundering.

How do they do their banking?

They deposit cash by walking into the bank.

How do they do their accounting?

Either an accountant themselves of a bookkeeper

How does the taxman view the difference between their outgoings (incl VAT) and their takings, including VAT.

Like they would any other business.

Unless you claim they are paying VAT on their drug-deals?

Effectively they would be.

You make it sound so easily,

They just need to show proof of where this cash is coming from.

but I know from personal experience banks etc are extremely suspicious about unusually large amounts of cashflows.

They have every reason to be suspicious, and the business has the expectation to prove that everything is legit.

They're frequently suspending accounts until due investigation has taken place.

So they should

They're getting paranoid about the services they offer to their customers,

and so they should

to ensure they don't fall foul of government clampdowns,

And thats only right

which would result in massive fines, bad publicity and ongoing investigations.

And they dont want that.

Our local Kurdish Barber is always empty. I had put this down to their poor English spelling.

Yet still, Turds Cutz is open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Your last sentence undoubtedly means the first sentence would be inaccurate.
The bank would stop accepting large amounts of cash without sufficient proof that it was gained legitimately.
The account would be suspended until the bank was satisfied.

declaring a good whack of cash.

Any accountant of repute wouldn't risk their licence and reputation for such a small return.

The payment of VAT on supplies would need a paper trail, so the declaration of takings would be a massive difference to the VAT paid on supplies.
Banks, Accountants, HMRC would all seek to ensure themselves the business was legit.

Your making things up as you go to satisfy your own suspicion that the businesses are not legit.

Shut up doppy, thst was a joke.
"A Kurdish barbers called Turds Cutz!"

What 'supplies' would a barber need? Apart from some scissors, a comb and a set of clippers, they’d only need shampoo as a consumable which costs peanuts. Ditto car washes. Shampoo and wheel shine. Why do you think they choose these outlets to launder their cash? Just think how much car wash cash can be 'generated' with just a five quid gallon of car shampoo…..

As usual, when called/caught out, it was only a joke.
So now we've showed your claim was nonsense, how about aveatry taking a phot of his "10 Turkish barbers in a ¼mile" to prove he wasn't joking?

That's why there 10 "kurd Cutz" within 1/4 mile on one of my local streets. Each with about 6 "barbers" and 1 customer. They use them as fronts for drug money / illegal ciggs money laundering.

As I said a figment of your imagination.

Try to keep up with the discussion:

We have a Chinese that only takes cash. I wont use it. A kebab shop only does cash.

And an English run butcher only does cash.
This one to me seems a bit suspicious.
One fella who worked there got put away with his son for chopping his mate up. Drugs where involved.

I see a nice steak at this butchers I spoke of. He cut it and bagged for the 4 of us before telling me cash only.

"I only have a card!"

He pointed to the post office 4 doors away. I did walk past the post office with on the way back to the car less steak in hand.

This is what I think.

If everything is cash then they declare most of that cash including what comes from the drug deals then the Tax and VAT man sees that they are a legit cash only business thats avoiding card fees from banks thats declaring a good whack of cash.

Sounds like they're sending civilians, under protected, under resourced and under trained, to do a legal enforcing role dealing with criminal gangs.
Or the officers were dissatisfied with their job.

You make a nonsense post about the great social experiment that's failed. But when I explore your ideology, to understand how you arrived at your conclusion, first of all, you waffle, then resort to ad hominem abuse.

Relating back to the much mentioned idea of multiculturalism isn't working, as though it's some great experiment gone wrong, it reminded me of Nesrine Malik's comments in her introduction to her book "We Need New Stories"

Individually and collectively, we need stories. It is a universal impulse. We need some galvanising, sense-making framework, a narrative, in order to instil order and a sense of purpose to our lives. Some myths are not only useful, they are necessary. All political orders are based on useful fictions which have allowed groups of humans, from ancient Mesopotamia through to the Roman empire and modern capitalist societies, to cooperate in numbers far beyond the scope of any other species. Every social unit, from the family to the nation state, functions on the basis of mythology, stories that set them apart from others. Some myths are less useful than others, and some are dangerously regressive. In Britain, I began to see these tales being told on a cultural, not just individual, level, to justify the way things were and preserve the status quo. But they were not harmless self-comforting bedtime stories; they were toxic delusions that had a purpose, to stymie change.
....
I started to write this book at a time of both political awakening and despair, when it was becoming clear that something was not working, where there was fear and distress but also a healthy impulse to resist and mobilise. But the effort is inchoate and still fixated on the idea of returning to a time before it all went wrong, rather than the recognition that things have been going wrong all along.
