Even if the shadow economy is stripped out of it, as I said, we are talking about people who are registered. We have taken a sample of people who are registered for tax. We can see that there was a non-compliance rate of 35%. Surely there would be value in knowing - in circumstances where there was full compliance - what would be the lost revenue, especially when we, as politicians, have to make tough decisions on behalf of taxpayers.
