Let me start off by saying that I think taxes are a necessary evil.<\/p>\n

After all, in an ideal world, taxes are what funds the building of roads, schools, essential government workers, and keeps a country running.<\/p>\n

But regardless of your own tax bracket, I think it's safe to say that we have all done some…er…creative accounting at some point in our life.<\/p>\n

Maybe you're a white collar criminal and you've already been caught! Tough luck bucko!<\/p>\n

Or perhaps, (and this is more likely) you've worked an under the table job at some point in your life to make ends meet or when you were a kid.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, there's a wide range of ways to start discreetly making fast cash if you want to. I'm not here to talk about the merit of this sort of thing because this is entirely up to your discretion.<\/p>\n

However, if you want a list of the best under the table jobs to get inspired, this is the article for you.<\/p>\n

Let's get to it.<\/p>\n

Note – It's your responsibility to accurately report your income when filing your taxes, and I am not responsible or giving you direct financial advice here for how to go about managing your PERSONAL finances.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

What Are Under The Table Jobs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you've never heard this term before, you might be a little confused about the under the table jobs meaning.<\/p>\n

Simply put, these are gigs where you don't claim income tax<\/strong> on the money you make<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Typically, these jobs are paid in cash, and main requirement is that your employer also doesn't report your income and that you work as an independent contractor, not\u00a0<\/em>a W2 worker.<\/p>\n

Now, under the table jobs aren't always cash gigs, and you can get away with small direct deposits, PayPal money<\/a>, or e-transfers.<\/p>\n

However, cash jobs are more common since most payment processing platforms like PayPal and most banks report your income to the IRS or whatever government agency operates in your country.<\/p>\n

Now at a large scale, under the table work requires money laundering to clear the cash. These aren't the sorts of gigs I'm talking about here, so slow your roll Heisenberg.<\/p>\n

Rather, this list of jobs are predominantly cash jobs or simple side gigs that make it easy for some money to conveniently slip through the cracks.<\/p>\n

The Best Under The Table Jobs – Cash Gigs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let's start off this list by examining some jobs that are pretty much always paid in instant cash.<\/p>\n

1. Babysitting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Babysitting is an incredibly popular college job<\/a>, and there's a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

Firstly, babysitting typically pays well. According to SitterCity<\/a>, a leading marketplace for care services, the average babysitter earns approximately $17.50 per hour<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Other responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, or taking kids to appointments usually increases your hourly wage as well.<\/p>\n

Outside of decent pay, babysitters can use their nights to complete homework, make money online<\/a>, or simply relax with some Netflix.<\/p>\n

Considering that this job pays cash quickly as well, it's certainly one of the easiest under the table jobs to try out. Just be sure to get the necessary qualifications like CPR and first aid training.<\/p>\n

2. Manual Labor Jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\n
