I would happily pay the transaction fee added to my bill rather than agree to his demand for cash, shops like Aldi add it onto your bill, doesn't stop people shopping there....it's purely tax avoidance imo.Typically a card machine company will charge 1.75% per transaction. In a business with an annual turnover of say £250k they’ll be paying £4375 to the bastards every year. Multiply that by say 20 years of work and they will be £87500 worse off! Ask your local barber next time you’re in if he would prefer to have £87500 in his bank or have it in fucking Barclays/Worldpay/Square’s bank accounts instead. And that’s just one business. Multiply that by two million small businesses and….you get the picture.
I don't blame them avoiding tax, but I don't want to help them do it. :)
