The electronic digital id doesn’t do anything that our existing digital id does. It just does it much quicker, and stores the data much more efficiently. You cannot get a legal job in the UK without the century old National Socialist Insurance number, which is your digital id on paper for having a job, claiming welfare, savings accounts, going to the doctor etc. So, nothing changes. If you want to employ someone without having to pay the 20% NI tax on their wages, and they don’t want to pay tax either, you pay cash. And thus also avoid VAT (GST, Sales Tax etc.) which started out as a never-to-be-changed iron-cast-guaranteed 10% forever and ever Amen but is now 20% too, on almost all goods and services (plumbing, mechanical work, new fence, house cleaning etc – not just a sales tax). So, cash has to be eliminated.
