Thanks for adding some more.

the CASH underground economy is a definite target of the govt

Our govt created a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%. So an item that Used to sell for $100 would now sell for $110. And to figure out how much GST is on any item you buy, divide the sale price by 11.
Anyway. This GST ALSO applied to Services - lawn guys, plumbers, electricians, etc. So a $400 job would now be a $440 job.
Well, instead of Capturing More Tax from service people, it drove them underground more. So now they are More Willing to do a deal - as long as you do Not require paperwork.
That $400 plumbing job is now $380 without a receipt of work done. And so on. The gummit created this "Black Economy". And they are also the ones to Name it as if it is something Bad. Interesting.
