The Money Programme: The Fake Football Shirt Sting and No Tax Please, We're Rich - XB005/DVD07Two episodes from the popular BBC2 series.
Fake Football Shirt Sting
At a price of £50 and more, replica football shirts are big business, and counterfeiting them has mushroomed into a huge criminal enterprise. In this World Cup year England plan to launch a new away kit, but for manufacturers Umbro the great fear is that the fakers will get hold of the design and flood the market with cheap fakes. With unique access to their counter-fraud team we follow Umbro's attempts to track down and outwit the counterfeiters.
No Tax Please, We're Rich
"Only the little people pay tax", as New York socialite Leona Helmsley once famously remarked. But could there be some truth in it? From non-repayable loans to offshore trusts we investigate the ways in which the rich and successful manage to avoid paying their fair share, and we ask whether anything can be done to close the loopholes.
