My local Asda garage is cashless now too. If you only have cash you don't get to fill up. End of.

I remember a thread like this a few years ago where someone on here told a story about a plumber he knew who wouldn't take cash and made all his customers pay by card or bank transfer. He had a random tug from the tax office and they simply didn't believe he wasn't taking any cash and hit him, with a very large bill. Its the only organisation where your guilty until you can prove your innocent.Cant win with them.

I doubt that very much.....HMRC can't simply make up large tax bills for you to pay unless you were living well beyond what you were declaring and far out of the regular earnings of an average plumber...

As for cash payments for my window cleaning business its less and less as the years go on. I prefer no cash to be honest these days.

The benefits are i always have a record of payment and no collecting. I've been to London for a weekend break (missus birthday) and most places just don't take cash anymore.  Its so much easier to just tap your phone. Its impossible to pay cash for the m6 toll too.

Personally I think we'll be totally cashless within the next decade.

Just found out that I can use my PW to unblock sewer pipes, just need a jetting nozzle and a smaller hose, which I now have.

I take cash, cheques and BACs.

Very few cheques now (a once a week visit to the bank for Mrs when she is in town), more and more BACs. Average approx £150  - £200 a week in cash.

Don't care how people pay me, it all gets declared. Will not go down the route of a card reader.

Personally I enjoy being honest. What the government does with my tax is up to them.

Interesting responses.

I have no plans to start taking it again.

So you did take it once, how did you account for it then?
25 years ago 95% of my business was cash, now it’s less than 5%
Any I do get I account for as personal drawings.
