It is a taxman dream, of course. But I would not be surprised if it was seen as largely positive by most citizens, especially the honest ones (and most citizens are honest by virtue of being salaried, with little to no room for fraud). It depends on the country of course, but tax fraud (or even tax evasion) is rarely seen as a good thing.
