No one likes to pay taxes. But taxes are the law. The terms "tax avoidance" and "tax evasion" are often used interchangeably, but they are very different concepts. Basically, tax avoidance is legal, while tax evasion is not. Tax Avoidance
Tax avoidance is the legitimate minimizing of taxes, using methods included in the tax code. Businesses avoid taxes by taking all legitimate deductions and by sheltering income from taxes by setting up employee retirement plans and other means, all legal and under the Internal Revenue Code or state tax codes. You may have heard of "tax shields" These shields are for protection against higher taxes, and they are the strategies that make up tax avoidance. Tax Evasion
Tax evasion, on the other hand, is the illegal practice of not paying taxes
, by not reporting income, reporting expenses not legally allowed, or by not paying taxes owed. In this situation, the phrase "ignorance of the law is no excuse" comes to mind.
