Which is a big mistake if you ask me. Well, you didn't, but anyway, avoiding taxes will get you caught sooner or later...the later, the more painful. No matter if you are in europe (they got government agencies that collect taxes as well, not the IRS, but europe isn't the third world) or the US.

If you use epass only, get like 1k a month and have a normal daytime job, you can maybe get away with it. But if you are a full-time webmaster, if you cash 10k+ a month, you can't stay undiscovered.

Maybe an angry neighbour who is curious why you got a new car again, an ex-girlfriend, a wife that's sick of you, some friendly competitor you met at the last show, someone at the bank who wonders where all this money comes from, etc., the list goes on and on and on.

I prefer this good feeling if the doorbell rings, because it's a friend, someone from my family, my girlfriend or the mail....makes me sleep much better !
