The taxman is targeting plumbers and others who work for cash in a fresh campaign against those not paying tax.<\/p>\n

HM Revenue and Customs is writing to 50,000 tradespeople warning them to pay any tax they owe, or face big fines.<\/p>\n

It is urging them to take advantage of a temporary amnesty which has been granted as part of an operation against tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Revenue targeted doctors and other medical professionals and raised \u00a39m from the campaign.<\/p>\n

This was paid by 1,500 professionals, although 30,000 were approached.<\/p>\n

In the latest campaign, tradespeople will still be subject to fines of up to 20% of the tax owed.<\/p>\n

However, investigations made after the amnesty could result in 100% penalties and prosecution.<\/p>\n

According the government, \u00a345bn is lost each year through unpaid taxes in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
