The equipment are not expensive, a home visit is though. Anyway, its proliferation (the locals and Greeks could not make it work profitably) could be a disguise for something else and non-HMRC friendly.

A kurdish barber near me was depositing 120k a week in cash at the bank...Got raided, in the local news
It's open seven days a week but at roughly 12 quid a haircut that's 1,000 a week, or 140 a day... There's 2 of them, so 70 each a day in about 8 hours...! Acey, I'm guessing Bishop Cleve...? |

"depositing 120k a week ... 12 quid a haircut that's 1,000 a week, or 140 a day... There's 2 of them, so 70 each a day in about 8 hours...!" You missed a zero. That's 10,000 a week, or 1,400 a day, or 700 each per day, or one haircut per barber every 40s... |

In the absence of NHS dentists (they decided to go private and enrich their bank accounts) I'd welcome Turkey Teeth Dentists just as long as they don't give you Red Rum gnashers (like Klopp has)

'acey', the barbers are overwhelmingly Kurdish these days. I'll ask my barber when I go in next. I've always wondered how they can make a profit when others cannot; I've not realised ML could be the objective.
What about car wash? Mine is a combination of Aghani, Kurdish and Iranian. |

You'd think HMRC would welcome the chance to tax the criminals as they wash their ill-gotten gains.
You can never catch the organ grinders anyway only their monkeys , so might as well grab a slice of their action. |

Just been to one. Embarrassingly I forgot to take some cash out and almost fainted when the chap said they take card payments. I thought all of those places were cash only.

@impossible - hand car washes are the other obvious one.
You need: - a business with no cost of sales (so all services, no or few goods that need to be bought and accounted for) - predominantly cash business - a casual and rapid-turnover workforce (so return of laundered cash after skimmage can be disguised as paying barbers/car-washers) |

'longbridge', my car wash charges £12 (no interior). It takes about 10 mins max. If busy eg weekend and sunshine, there could be a long queue eg 20 mins until you'd get seen even with a two lane queue. This could mean £12 x 12 (6+6) = £144 per hour or £1440 per 10hr day or £10.08k per week. I think a dodgy one could easily claim or submit £50k per month or more citing bigger vehicles/interiors are charged more, etc, even during very quiet periods eg rainy days.
My Kurdish barber started off accepting cash and card. Now, it's only cash. The young boss (not seen there for over a year) drives a black Merc. His staff are entirely Kurdish and mainly relatives, very courteous and good at what they do. |

how much money you going to give back if you're declaring £150,000 a month ?
even if you're money laundering the tax mans going to be taking an absolute wodge off you. |

All these undesirable people pouring in and bringing pain and sorrow require a hard boiled egg where the sun don’t shine tbh….

How does The Treasury income correlate with the population of taxpayers, and population of adults? Similarly, how does HMRC income, and the spend on welfare benefits?

"how much money you going to give back if you're declaring £150,000 a month ? "
Interesting thought. If you're MLing £150k a month do you: - declare it for tax, so it looks legit and is properly 'laundered' - don't declare it for tax for fear of attracting attention? I'm guessing the first, but I've never been in a position to have that choice to make... |

@impossible
My Syrian barber takes only cash - it is literally the only transaction I use physical money for. I suppose it's possible he finds he convenient to be able to pay his staff in cash, like it's the 1950s and everyone gets a brown envelope of notes on Friday afternoon? |
|
By:
Cash is preferable with most barbers as there is no credit/debit card fee to pay. Conversely the English barber does not take cash, only card for security and convenience.
