I think some of these assumptions are wrong, underground economy do help in formal sectors to fund projects. Where people have low credit, social capital and the legal status. So it helps those people and sectors to where people can not access opportunities due to nepotism (so called networking). Government’s do know about this all over the world but ignore it for the well being of underprivileged, under represented and underserved.

If the current government didn’t tax us to death, people wouldn’t have to work under the table.
The more they tax us the more people are encouraged to finds around not paying tax.

I’m glad somebody is writing about this and linking it to money laundering. A lot of Canadians are now aware that Canada is a haven for money launderers but not a lot know how it works. As a long time renter, I’m always troubled by landlords who pay contractors and repairmen ‘under the table’ by slipping them cash. I’ve only had one landlord who did not do this.
