youre getting desperate now gweggy
i assure you, the cash economy is not immune from the scrutiny of centrelink, the tax department and the child support agency
you are naive beyond belief, or more likely a liar.
i know a business guy who was audited
they asked him to show where the cash came for multiple things in his possession.
we even had a politician get into grief for a bottle of expensive wine they had in their possession ( i forget who)
their powers are broad ranging
if , for example, your parents never got money out of the bank for groceries and had groceries , the auditors could ask "how"
if someone tipped them off, you would be surprised how cunning they are.
as for my son the electricianan old lady we know is actually paid by the ATO to get tradies out to do little jobs (fix a leaky tap, change a light bulb) she pays cash and doesnt ask for a reciept. after a couple of years, the tax department pull the trap. and they come down on them like a ton of bricks. massive fines.
i have told my son to NEVER do a cashie Funny how in the last few months I had jobs done by a small motors business, a car detailer and a smoke alarm installer ....
and they all wanted cash.
All registered ABN business who also advertise their businesses on radio, Local Search & TV
all wanted cash. No receipts.
