I agree... also,
Cash in hand, under the table, undeclared...

Also "sin declararlo" "sin papeles" "sin estar declarado"...

También "de estranquis" o "de extranjis" (clandestina u ocultamente).
La primera "de estranquis" puede que sea argot catalán o caló, pero lo usan hablantes castellanos y catalanes en Barcelona.
