Brady Dumais owns a small restaurant that operates on a cash-only basis; no credit cards are accepted. Brady has taken a bookkeeping

course and a tax preparation course. With the help of his spouse, he is able to perform all the bookkeeping duties and prepare his tax

returns.

Brady discovers that federal and state income taxes take away 35 percent of his profits. Because his is a cash business, Brady has started

the practice of “skimming” sales. Because these sales will not appear in the business records, they will escape taxation, and Brady will

be able to retain 100 percent of these revenue dollars.
