dont forget to mention the osbourne reciept remark. he says he always ask his window cleaner. gardener etc for a reciept for any work done .and he says alll members of the public should asks for one .
What he for got to mention was any invoice or reciept he has for jobs done or if he buys evan a paper clip .he can claim this money back .you try doing the same ;D

Unfortunately, the media will twist anything you say to them in order to conform to their pre-determined agenda.
If you think of it, please make it clear that cash does not equal fraud; it's just a convenient way for some customers to pay - particularly if they struggle to write a cheque due to something like arthritis, poor eyesight etc.

I do wonder how HMRC would view it if I took my accounts in to them to sort out (as you are allowed to) and gave them a piece of paper for every single job I had done that year. Multiply that by every window cleaner in the country doing the same - never mind any other tradespeople. I bet the politicians would soon change their tune.
Personally, I find it very insulting for them to assume that a cash payment automatically equates to a fiddle - and that from the most corrupt vermin in the whole country. Perhaps these scumbags are judging us by their own standards.

The truth is that the vast majority of my customers pay online.

I've never calculated it but I would estimate half online, a quarter by cheque and a quarter cash.

With the odd exception, I don't knock when I finish a house. I just drop a bill. It saves bags of time & I don't have endless conversations about the weather. Most pay online.

These gimps need to get their own house in order before pointing fingers at the little blokes:

No, only to you, because you're the only one who stalks me. Keep it on topic, Matt, please don't ruin someone's post because you have a childish resentment against me.
Take that as a final warning! It's just three clicks, mate.

I offered a customer - as a joke - a receipt for cash they paid me, and my customer asked, "What am I meant to do with the receipt?"
I thought that was pretty good; what are they meant to do with them?

They could use it as evidence for compensation when they sue the bird that poo'd on their windows.

Yeah, the whole judicial system and countries ethos is innocent until proven guilty...
So why is it that because someone takes a cash payment it is assumed they are swindling?
maybe look into politicians expenses & as tosh says, sort their own house out first (lead by example)
Massive corporation legally get away with millions upon millions of tax a year, but whether bob the builder may or may not declare the tenner he was paid last week seems to take precedence...is someone taking the pi55..?
We bailed out all the rich bankers when they buggered it all up, but yet its still the small man that gets treated like a swindler...then say to them that if mr balls lets you go over his books, you'll let him go over yours. Then we'll see who's actually trying it on with the tax man

All the suggestions sound good, but you could cloud a great point by making a lot of good ones.
It isn't often that a professional cleaner gets their voice heard on national media.
You could really bring the image up of the humble window cleaner.
And, if you protest too much on something-it makes you look like you're hiding something. If you are or aren't.
Hope it goes well for you.
All the best.

Thanks Poleking this was just the sort of thing i was hoping to do. Gone of the days chamois leather and ladder and a few quid in the pocket. This is a growing industry so we need to make it look professional ;D
