Have had a dig around. FullFact concluded that this exact graph is overstated - tax evasion is not 360x higher than benefit fraud - but TE still vastly outpaces BF, and could be as much as 14-19x larger. An annoying exaggeration considering the wider point still stands! fullfact.org/online/tax-g...
An annotation suggesting that a graph shows tax evasion, avoidance and non-collection costs the government 360 times more than benefit fraud is incorrect.
Thank you for the response Séamas!
FullFact don't address the 'unclaimed benefits' aspect, which to me is just as striking a concept. This appears to be borne out by EntitledTo's reporting on the subject, which gives a figure of around £16bn. Numbers very fiddly tho, due to messy govt reporting. www.entitledto.co.uk/blog/2023/ma...
