I'd say those bartering services are definitely a gray area or illegal because they avoid the taxes. But that they even caught on to the accrued good will seems impressive.

Edit: don't shoot the messenger, I did not create the laws

Taxes are for money, not good will. You created a law taxing friendly favors.

I think you are wrong. Ask a lawyer, though (and again, I did not create the law).

Trading is friendly, too, btw. In a good trade, both parties are happier after the trade.
