My sister has taken on a cleaner who is very efficient and only charges £7 an hour. I was thinking of employing her too as I hate housework. However, my sister has since found out that this woman is a single mother on benefits and is not paying tax on the money she earns from her cleaning jobs. This has put me off as I like everything to be above board, but my sister says she doesn't care about it. I've decided not to bother anyway and will wait until I get my state pension next summer and employ a cleaner then. Just wondered what does everyone else think? I can sort of see both sides, but I wouldn't want to be aiding and abetting someone defrauding the system.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
