Taxes are deducted automatically from direct-deposit paychecks, making tax evasion impossible without corresponding payroll fraud. Small businesses that pay workers cash-in-hand or with paper checks must keep records of their payouts and issue them to the local tax office. The tax office then sends a tax bill to those individuals at the end of the year. For obvious reasons, these individuals are most likely to evade (or attempt to evade) taxes. Success rates vary.
