    Their card terminal is broken because they can then lie on the taxes on how much they made. They can’t do that with a card transaction.

        No it isn’t, it’s tax evasion. Businesses do it to get more money from lying on their taxes, not taking “dirty” illegal money and making it legal

          That depends on if they’re reporting LESS money than they actually made, or are reporting MORE money than the shop itself actually took in.

          If everything is in cash, you can inflate it pretty easily without raising eyebrows.
