I'm sure that's so, but if the business isn't viable then it shouldn't be there. If the business needs support then that's a different question and it should receive it directly.

Of course that will mean another load of fraud and money wasted.

My guess is that there are large numbers of people at or near minimum wage who are working for large, profitable businesses. Those businesses are already costing the taxpayer a fortune, and if they also manage to pay b. all tax then we are being systematically ripped off. It would be quite interesting to collate the data on this including links to Tory donors.

In-work benefits have always been problematic, and inevitably end up subsidising profits somewhere else. Ask Gordon Brown. The people who administered the Speenhamland system from 1795-1834 discovered this.
