If you're travelling more than your peers, or owning a nicer car than your peers, or getting more work done on your house than your peers, Revenue will notice one day. The money isn't going to much use to you if you keep it in a box under the bed. It has to come out somewhere.

Uncle Charlie wrote: » The travellers are able to hide their money so yes it is possible if you know what you're doing.

Uncle Charlie wrote: » How would the Revenue know how I spend my cash ? Like if I went out every night on the town and spent a few hundred quid every night 7 days a week. The Revenue would have no way of picking up on that.
Uncle Charlie wrote: » I wouldn't spend more than 10k on a car so they wouldn't be coming after me for buying a car.
AndrewJRenko wrote: » They have probably the largest IT team in the country with the best resources and a national and international reputation. It's not hard, for example, to look at who is spending on cars at a level out of whack with their declared income.

If so, what would you do with the money - where would you invest it? Idea stems from stories you read about people who either build up enough of a nest egg to retire early, replace great aunt with won it on the 3.10 @ Cheltenham if you prefer.
