what does cash on the barrelhead mean?

Answer 1

From playing cards at work - in the old days when there WERE barrels (the large wooden kind), blokes would play cards. To enter the game you put your cash on the barrelhead - because that's the top...of course. A bit like putting "your money on the table" - or "put your money where your mouth is" etc; also when you got a drink from the barrel (old saloon talk) - you put your cash on the barrelhead

Answer 4

Add "illegal" to the mix. It's one thing entirely to use the tax laws to your benefit, and savvy taxpayers do it every year. Bunching itemized deductions into one year and taking the standard deduction the next year is a common way and is completely legal. Keeping stock investments for over one year to get the benefit of the lower long-term capital gains rates is another. Due to the complexity of the tax code there are literally thousands of legal ways to minimize your tax bill. Also, due to the complexity of the tax code, including outright conflicts in some areas, creative interpretation is also a quasi-legal means to avoid taxes as well. If you can justify your position within the context of the law as written, go for it. Maybe you'll win and maybe you won't, but it's perfectly legal to try. This is true even if there has been a revenue ruling contrary to your position. A revenue ruling is nothing more than the opinion of an IRS attorney on how the law is intended to be applied. Legally it only applies to the IRS; taxpayers are free to provide their own interpretation of the law and they DO win cases in Tax Court on these all the time. However, leaving that cash "on the barrellhead" is clear-cut tax evasion. That is incontestibly illegal, cut and dried. And all you need is ONE honest guy in the bunch to trigger an IRS investigation of everyone else in the group.
