I think GP's intention was to mention the farmers themselves, who would (presumably, I'm neither a farmer nor European) receive above >€3000 in egg-revenue per week/month/annum, and then go deposit that at the bank, use it for mortgage payments, or pay for farm equipment et al. in cash.

- bryanlarsen 3y agoAFAICT it doesn't outlaw depositing >€3000 at the bank, it'll just be reported. And that's what farmers are annoyed at. If they don't deposit it, they can "forget" to report the income themselves, and cheat the tax man.
- gunapologist99 3y agoThis doesn't follow; then they could just spend it in increments of less than €3000.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoBut it's harder to spend.
- JW_00000 3y agoThis proposal does not forbid bank deposits of > €3000.
