Is it wrong to pay cash in hand?

Clare McDonnell sits in with topical chat, your calls plus Kent news and events as they happen.

The country's most senior taxman, David Harnett, has today said that if you pay cash in hand to tradesmen, you are swindling the economy out of cash that could be used for hospitals and schools.

He says this will result in even deeper cuts to public services.

If you get paid cash in hand, do you declare it? Are you short changing taxpayers by short changing the economy? Is it ever acceptable to receive or demand payment in cash?

We hear your views and opinions.

Also on the programme, the Chief Executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Steven Hester, has been awarded a bonus of Β£963,000 in shares.

The bank is owned 100% by the taxpayer. Is this fair? How do you feel about bankers' bonuses, when the average worker is facing cuts in wages and even losing there jobs?

Clare speaks to Deborah Hargreaves, the Chair of the High Pay Commission, an independent body that looks at executive pay (10.17).
