Cash payments (discounted or not)are income and need to be claimed as such on one’s tax return.

Surely, you don’t mean to make the sweeping claim that people who accept cash payments are tax evaders.

Not saying it Never does, but Couldn’t it also be that Cash payment avoids processing fees from other types of payment, is a trade off for having the convenience of cash on hand, or really was just a tactic to make the vendor “seem” to have got the upper hand.
