Haha, Ouuccchhh, looks like I hit a sore point...
I can assure you I am not trying to avoid paying taxes or are currently claiming any sort of benefits, I only asked a simple question...
& thanks to the rest of you which offered a kind response...
I do a lot of cash-in-hand work in the UK along with my current job and I find the variety refreshing... Anyway there's no need to explain myself...
Thanks again for the advice from the other members,
Reguards,
