Goverment help for small rental houses

The sheer amount of people not declaring any income, no filing of self employment until last moment, cash buying and selling expensive equipment, saying they are a company when they aren’t registered as one, taking on large amounts of finance, etc.

Essentially ‘doing odd freelancer jobs’ and ‘other stuff on the side’ is still undeclared. Then when asked to prove your earnings things get uncomfortable.

This is not confined to the events industry but is very prevalent within and obviously keeps a lot of it ticking over.

I say that without judgement, as we’ve all got to do what we have to just to make our way in life. God knows the elites doing it are far worse to set an example to the rest of us.

I just feel that there were much Better ways than giving out large sums of money, which is also open to abuse and failings as being witnessed. But we are where we are sadly.
