    Wait… Are we still talking about corporate tax evasion? It sounds like you’ve started a new thread as a reply. Tax evasion was very much a thing back in 1997 - 2010.

      No, I am talking about the government collecting data with the intention of using it to campaign for office.

        Oh right, ok you’ve got the wrong thread then perhaps start a new thread instead? This is specifically about evading tax which is what the article is getting at with the new rules around selling online.

        From 1 January firms including Vinted, Airbnb, and eBay are obliged to collect and share details of such transactions with the tax authorities.

        That will allow HMRC to home in on anyone who should be declaring the extra income but isn’t.

        This isn’t about campaigning for office. Actually… I’m not even sure where you got that from. But, yeah, best start a new thread of you want to discuss that. 👍
