How long until having an account is mandatory ? The government does own a number of banks after all. The bottom line is that if you are going to make a change to PAYE that significant, the odd legislative tweak here and there to catch cash businesses is not going to be much of a stretch. We may not <i>have</i> the choice. I suspect this idea has been floated out the door quietly to see if anyone twigs to the implications and if there's going to be much reaction. I think we should all scream blue murder about it. At this rate Con and Lab will be level pegging before the election. I wonder how many adults in the country don’t have a bank account ?

A number of them don't have a bank account. I can't see me rushing to change that arrangement.
