Paying broker commission in cash? Is that usual?

Yes, checks would be one option. But they come with costs and are unsecured or not necessarily covered if they are not "special" (LZB?) checks. Sorry, layman knowledge

The broker could also bring a mobile EC terminal. Depending on the card limit (which I can immediately increase by phone as a direct bank customer), payment can then be made on site with a PIN.

With the EC terminal, however, his money ends up in the account, which he does not want.

at least that is the allegation here. Specifically, it is not known.

Well, it is at least the converse

I already let remarks like "business or spouse partner should not notice the entry", tax evader, etc... all those close thoughts that come to my mind

You can do that, but I see no necessity here. If you buy a used car from a private person, you more or less have to travel around the world with a package of money; but here that is unnecessary.

If you do it, pay only after the signature and only upon receipt of an invoice that shows all legally relevant components of an invoice. The invoice should then have a direct signature with date and office stamp from the broker, confirming that he has received the money in cash.

If you suspect/assume that he hopes to gain an advantage from it, you can of course address that—if he is willing to negotiate the amount. That is not forbidden.

Quid pro quo.

Car dealers who sell cars for cash (I'm not talking about 2000 EUR junk cars) are probably just as shady "small-time dealers with a migration background." Anyone who believes in a proper tax declaration there also believes in Santa Claus.

Wow, a new low. As if migrants had exclusively claimed the issue of tax evasion for themselves... Hoeneß, the old Arab, surely thinks so too.

Sorry, but such nonsense really makes me see red. Your quotation marks won’t help anymore...
