to the benefits agency, yet are in receipt of benefits - ie Income support, DLA, Council Tax Benefit, Housing Benefit, etc etc.
Is this fraud and is it "reportable"?

Think about it, if someone has a large amount of money stashed away but are claiming benefits, do you honestly think it's fair on people like me who works hard and pays taxes to pay their benefits. NO
As for the others who said do not report it, probably because they are on benefits too!!

Yes, it is fraud and could cause them to lose money if and when they get found out because the DWP will take back all illegally gained benefits so it's better to tell them sooner rather than later.
And to all those people who say about not telling, I'm guessing that you're NOT being taxed into poverty because you have a job that pays for all these people who cheat the system.
Tell the necessary people and tell them now. No ifs, no buts remember!

He still continues to own it. If and when caught for tax evasion he will bee charged as per the rules. It is defenitely reportable.

It is fraud and should be reported. You can report these kinds of things without giving your name so that the offender can't get back at you.
