You will shoot yourself in the foot. You have been cheating the taxman and the taxpayer and he will get the money back from YOU, not your brother in law.

And the benefits office will reclaim the money they gave you that you were not entitled to.

You have committed a criminal offence and could end up in court.

Didn't you ask this same question a week or so back?

I was thinking the same thing DZUG!

The OP is at the end of his tether as his house is due to be repossessed to pay a legal charge his brother in law has over the property which should have been paid when OP inherited the house from his mother in 2005.

I get the impression he has been burying his head in the sand and the lion has bitten the ostrich on the backside.

If he could not have raised the money to pay his brother in law in 2005, he should have sold the house and kept the residue.

Now it is being forced upon him and he is very bitter.

Ahh - hadn't connected the two questions....

Surely you were self employed ~ therefore all the tax and NI should have been arranged by yourself.
