its great gettin paid cash....what you have to remember is that in business, to pay cash (i.e hide it from the taxman) you first have to take cash as payment...no good nipping down the bank and drawing out cash to pay the lads and not puttting anything on paper for em cos as soon as the taxman looks at the withdrawal he's gonna go 'wots this for then'....always a paper trail...I've had a couple of builders like that, it means you don't have to declare it to the tax man and they can get a good day rate. ;D
