By encouraging tax evasion?

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

By 'cash' I mean funds in the bank, so 'cash' = cash and cards. Cash
available to use, means you can often get a 10% discount on a posted
price in a shop, especially true if they are offering interest free
credit on an item.

My understanding is that it is illegal to offer a discount in lieu of
Interest Free Credit.

It might be illegal for someone to offer an incentive to take up a credit
plan (can't be bothered to find out).

it most certainly is not illegal to offer an incentive not to.

Which isn't what I suggested.
The problem is that if Interest Free Credit is offered then it must be at
the price paid for the item. So if a discount is offered, then Interest Free
Credit must be offered on that discounted price also.
