If you get paid cash and give a receipt/cash ticket, I'm not sure you can avoid declaring that revenue to the tax authorities. It's enough that one of your customers uses that ticket to deduce it as a professional expense from their own tax declaration to get potentially caught.
I was hearing that all the time before card payments were a common thing (i.e. in the '80s, writing from Europe), "didn't get a receipt... they want to avoid taxes"

I have personally never had a tradesman give me a receipt, always cash-in-hand, for anything at home. Work expenses a receipt is required though, and those I pay with card anyway.
