All of your local business people either are or have just not paid taxes on income. If it's a cash business or they accept cash, there's a high likelihood that they just put that in their pocket.

Maybe for services, but I have 10 pizzas and sell all 10 for 1 quid and there's only 5 quid in my books, as long as taxes are paid the irs won't notice.
