I took $900.00 cash to Europe with me last month I came back with $750.00. I had 210 euros left in cash from last year to spend in the open air markets and on the tax evading taxis that would only take cash -- like in Nice, France.
So, France didn't get their VAT (TAV) tax nor income tax on the sales that these people made. Technically, C2C sales are VAT tax exempt LOL <= who is laughing I really don't know ...
The only cash I spent that was tax exempt was at a Catholic Church rummage sale -- my lady friend wanted to go. We scored a 3/4 length suede winter fully lined coat for her -- 20 euro -- they thought it was suedecloth -- the tag was missing ;)
Tax evaders love cash there is no record. 15% to 20% of the USA's economy is under the table -- that is a fuckload of taxable money
