• Cheers all. Something to think about. I'm not sure it's something we'd do, but I was curious about the general ramifications.

    Pretty sure (iirc) from an evidential pov an invoice is proof of sale - ie beneficial for the service provider. If I have a new drive layed + texts with quotes/prices + a bank account with a £2k withdrawal then I don't think not having an invoice changes my rights (such that they are in practice).

  • Also, if you're a member of a professional body that expects you to be aware of and report potential money laundering offences (accountant, lawyer, etc) you may get booted for aiding tax evasion.

  • Strikes me as bollocks but if you can find an example I’d be interested to see (as someone that has acted as an MLRO in the past).

    No the one about the guy’s train tickets is not a relevant comparator.

  • Ima say paying cash for a legal thing is pretty much the opposite of money laundering.

    Moot really tho, if you get a criminal record for aiding tax evasion you’ll not be accounting or lawyering at all.
