Tax evasion is the illegal evasion of taxes by individuals, companies and trusts. Tax evasion often entails taxpayers
deliberately misrepresenting the true state of their affairs to tax authorities to reduce their tax liability and
includes dishonest text reporting such as declaring less income profits or gains than the amount actually earned or
overstating deductions.
Tax evasion is an activity commonly associated with the informal economy. One measure of the extent of tax
evasion ( the tax gap) is the amount of unreported income, which is the difference between the amount of income that
should be reported to the tax authorities and the actual amount reported.
In contrast, tax avoidance is the legal use of tax laws to reduce one’s tax burden. Both tax evasion and avoidance
can be viewed as forms of tax noncompliance, as they describe a range activities that intend to subvert a state’s
system, although such classification of tax avoidance is not indisputable given that avoidance is lawfull, within self-
creating systems.
