Oh! and Rachel you can get a form from HMRC which allows you to get your UK rent paid tax free and then fill in a self assessment tax return later on. Otherwise the agent will be legally obliged to deduct 20% automatically and hand it over to George Osborne .

  How much of a tax burden would the Italians have if they didn't have such a large black economy then?? What 75%? Sounds ridiculous. I reckon that most of the 'black' money gets spent on consumer goods and basic necessities and therefore just becomes part of the big multiplier effect!! I'd give the 'dole scroungers' bigger benefits and get the economy growing ..spend spend spend, The resulting inflation would soon shrink the national debt Ho Ho!
