Taxing Questions for Greeks
As Greece tackles it's massive public debt crisis Ed Butler investigates why the country has the highest incidence of tax evasion anywhere in Europe.
No-one likes paying tax - but avoiding it is a way of life for many people in Greece, whose black economy is estimated to be worth more than a quarter of its GDP.

For Assignment Ed Butler travels to Athens to try to get to the heart of the problem.
