    Lets put it to a poll :)

    Oh and for anyone out there who doesnt know what a nixer is... (I actually shake my head at someone for not knowing what a nixer is) ... It is being paid under the table. Aka, tax free.


    Alot of jobs in our society are "Nixers"
    For example, all takeway delivery drivers are Nixers. All "Man with a van" services are Nixers. Everyone who has ever put a leaflet through your door was a Nixer ;)
    But not only that, alot of other things can be too. Be it a taxi driver not declaring all their earnings or a tradesmen not declaring theirs (In other words, certain jobs they did were nixers)



    So boards I ask you. ... right or wrong?
    As for me? I have no issue with it :) Life is sadly not fair. So fair game.

    Do you see anything wrong with a person doing a 'nixer' ? 6 votes

    That's bollocks. Not everyone doing those jobs are doing it cash in hand without paying tax.

    As for the question in the title, I don't see doing the odd one every so often as wrong as long as you don't take the piss with it.

    In all truth I would imagine all the uniformed delivery drivers for chains like Dominos are on the books. Not your local chipper or Chinese thouh.

    Anyway, of course not. The wealthiest in society who can well afford their taxes try to skim them, so the lad on 8 euro an hour is right to do it too.
