Jeremy Vine show, 12 noon today

Posted on

Unless something very strange happens between now and midday I will be on the Jeremy Vine show at 12 noon(or soon after) talking about the tax gap, tax evasion and why tackling it is much more important than dealing with benefit fraud.

The Jeremy Vine show is on BBC Radio 2.

The argument is simple, of course. No one condones benefit fraud, least of all me. But benefit fraud may be £1 to £2 billion a year. HM Revenue & Customs estimate tax evasion at around £35 billion a year and I reckon it is double that at £70 billion a year.

If you have to target either benefit fraud or tax evasion, which would you choose? And in that case,why did the government make the wrong choice?
