I thought I’d seen most of the methods of hiding cash from the taxman, but this short story is a new one. It seems that a British businessman decided that his aunt needed £140,000 to accompany her to the hereafter. Well, the businessman owed £50,000 to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (formerly Inland Revenue, the British equivalent to the IRS).
His aunt couldn’t take it with her…and neither was the businessman successful in burying his cash.
