cash in hand
Explanation:
"Cash in hand" means that your employer pays you cash, without paying any taxes to the Tax Office. In this case, the employer usually offers you a lower salary than the gross salary (before tax) you will get if taxes were withdrawn, but similar to the net salary you would get (after tax).
