It also means that the government - for which we can all thank for a operating society - gets a fair cut.Whenever you use a credit card, debit card, apple pay, etc that sale is stored and sold to anyone who will pay for that information.
Cash - without tax - is essentially cheating the government. (Granted, a lot of people don't see it that way.)
I am astonished at how many people tell me I won't have to pay taxes if I pay in cash. I politely tell them I'm happy to pay the tax - and let the government know about the transaction.
