Comment on How do I deal with billing close relatives from work as an entrepreneur?
OxidantZero@lemm.ee 1 month agoCan’t you just accept the immediate cash payment, but make sure that it’s recorded correctly in your accounts.
I don’t know where you live, but the tax law I’m familiar with doesn’t care if the customer received a bill in the post or even if they recieved a bill at all. The critical thing is that all payments received within the tax period are declared.
You could still produce a copy of the bill for your records and even a receipt for the payment if it makes you feel better.

Yeah I was thinking about contacting my accountant to ask if there’s a way to do that. My understanding is that there’s no good way for me to accept cash payments but maybe there’s some loophole like charging myself for it or something. Then I could indeed do it by the book without them even knowing.

Hmm. I’d say if they want that feeling so much… Just give it to them. You can still pay taxes and do the accounting correctly and not tell them. This isn’t how it’s supposed to work, but there are lots of other relationships or familied where someone keeps being childish and the other people need to do things behind their back to make things work.
