Like it or not, if you are employed and on pay roll , you will get bent over every year.
There is no way you can track down every cash transaction businesses like spas, hair salons, restaurants, small construction companies ,small contractors, small paving companies and such. I do know of some bigger spas with lots of credit card transactions show over 2-300 thousands a yr income and they have been in the business for so many years. Most accountants know what to hold and what to show. Small spas are too small of a fish for the government to be bothered. Every business doing lots of cash transactions will always cheat no matter what business it is. Even our ex PM Brian Mulroney tried to hide $300K cash , why can't the small businesses?
He may be unaware of possible serious consequenses.
