Too hide money all you have to do is dig a pit, throw the money in and burt it. To ensure no one ever finds it, set light to it.

Otherwise it's money in a bank somewhere gaining interest, because of the bank's investments, you're not paying taxes on. When the interest or capital is spent it's taxed, providing jobs, keeping the wheels turning, etc.

Should retail taxes be higher? It would mean less people able to dodge paying so little tax.

If a Government can't cover it's spending by reducing spending, like less police, fireman, road repairs, cleaners, etc, raise taxes or send the country deeper into debt. So our children pay it off, or the whole thing melts down.
