Hi there, I'm a sole trader.
I did a job for a private household last week, they paid me in cash.
I asked them for their surname so I could email them an invoice showing payment for my records.
They have now asked me to invoice the name of a company (doesn't seem to be registered at their home address, but nearby) that on research the husband obviously owns. I assume he's trying to avoid tax...
As I didn't do work for the company, will I have problems if at some point my papers were audited? I wouldn't be so worried if ti was a one off, but it's the chance for fairly regular work.
What should I do? I don't want to do anything illegal.
Thanks for any advice
