Broker fraud or tax evasion?

According to a friend who was self-employed in the gastronomy business for many years, it is no longer possible to cheat with the new cash register systems (or rather the regulations for them) – at least not without attracting attention. But the respective restaurateurs simply do not enter the revenues into the cash register at all. This only works with cash payments. We have a "favorite" Asian restaurant (very authentic Szechuan cuisine) and a sort of bet. Whenever we pay, we watch whether he "closes" the bill or aborts it. With cash payment, it is almost every time the case that he looks at the table to add up the amount, but if he is not quick enough in his head, he always calculates the change on the calculator and then aborts -> No recorded revenue in the cash register. He never does this with EC card payment.

I doubt that anyone notices whether it is now 10 houses sold or 15 ....

Regarding the "black" five properties, he then has to handle all communication separately, otherwise he leaves traces.

At least his procedure is an indication that he does not run his business money laundering optimized ;-)

the whole gastronomy people as well. They are laughing their heads off. Getting 75% from mommy, sending

if they would get them right away. Mommy is causing us completely different problems...

if you would get them right away. Mutti is giving us completely different problems...

I can say exactly that. The advance payment promised until the end of November! (50% of the aid) arrived around mid-December after a struggle with the tax advisor. The rest may already be there, I haven't noticed yet. You can already apply for the December aid – lol. It will be similar. In addition, it is not 75% (that's just there as a marketing gag) but in the case I personally know (ex-wife) something around just under 70%. It is not gastronomy (but also 100% forcibly closed), so still all fixed costs (rent etc.). The previously self-earned "wage" doesn't matter. One of my clients (hotel + gastronomy, prime location in MS) is calculating with the aid around February. Fully taxable in 2020 (why?). That apparently causes problems as well. By the way, this is a top hotel, always fully booked. They don't complain (to me), but "between the lines" I at least hear real problems.

Well, someone would have to come up with that first, and who would that be?
And if it’s not in the notary contract, he can still claim that he ultimately did not broker the house in question.

Why such a fuss about something like that? Envy? Resentment? He gets 7%. That was clear and undisputed. He gets that now - and the rest is none of our business.
