| | Tax avoidance/evasion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability, and includes, in particular, dishonest tax reporting (such as underdeclaring income, profits or gains; or overstating deductions). | | | Tax avoidance is the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one's own advantage, to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the material information to the tax authorities. | | | By contrast tax evasion is the general term for efforts by individuals, firms, trusts and other entities to evade the payment of taxes by illegal means. |

| | Corporate Tax Evasion on an Enormous Scale |
| | Though the corporate tax rate is 35 percent, the IRS found that the 10,000 largest corporations paid only 20.3 percent of their 1999 profits in federal income taxes. | | | Corporate profits, and the taxes that should be paid on those profits, are flooding into the investment portfolios and bank accounts of corporate executives. | | | But the largest single contributor to this evasion of taxes is the lavish awarding of the stock options to corporate executives. |

| | TaxProphet Hot Topics - February 1996 |
| | Clearly, you and I are "individuals" and are liable for federal taxes. | | | In Cheeks, the taxpayer, who was convicted of tax evasion for failing to file income tax returns, argued that he was, in effect, "duped" by the tax protestor rhetoric and honestly believed that he was not a taxpayer under the Internal Revenue Code. | | | Tax protestors often point out that the word "individual" is not defined in the Code or regulations, and conclude that they are not individual U.S. residents or citizens subject to federal income tax. |

| | Tax Protester FAQ |
| | So the income tax is a tax on the receipt of income, and the sale of labor is a transaction that allows the constitutional imposition of a tax. | | | The federal income tax is unconstitutional because it is a "direct tax" that must be apportioned among the states in accordance with the census. | | | The court decisions against tax protesters are all rendered by ignorant, corrupt judges who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo because their salaries are paid by the income tax and they are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. |

| | Tax Protest Movement -- Extremism in America |
| | A tax protester, however, regardless of whether he or she actually attempts to evade paying taxes, is someone who has become convinced that they have a moral, ethical or legal right or responsibility to refuse to pay taxes. | | | Tax protesters engage in a wide variety of tax evasion strategies that range from simple refusal to pay taxes to complicated schemes using onshore and offshore trusts in order to hide income from the government. | | | Many tax protesters moved easily from believing that the tax laws were illegitimate to concluding that the entire government was in various ways illegitimate. |

| | Employment tax evasion schemes have serious consequences not only for the employers but the employees as well. | | | The requirement to file an income tax return is not voluntary and it is clearly set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 6011(a), 6012(a), et seq., and 6072(a). | | | Currently, the same arguments concerning the legality of the tax system are being used in an attempt to convince employers they do not have to withhold employment taxes. |

| | Irwin Schiff calls Otto Skinner a Liar - You be the Judge! |
| | A tax on wages or a tax on dividends is a tax on the source. | | | For tax purposes the word income means a corporate profit because when the government puts a tax on corporate profit it is taxing income separated from the source. | | | The tax under consideration, as we have construed the statute, may be described as an excise upon the particular privilege of doing business in a corporate capacity, i.e., with advantages which arise from corporate or quasi-corporate organization; or, when applied to insurance companies, for doing the business of such companies. |

| | With tax reform high on the political agenda, this book brings together studies of leading tax economists and lawyers to assess the various reform proposals and examine the effects of tax reform in several distinct areas. | | | One approach primarily involves spending cuts and smaller government, another relies more heavily on tax increases to support an activist government, and the third suggests a balanced mix of spending cuts and tax increases along with a reallocation of government priorities. | | | Globalization and e-commerce are changing the way people work and purchase goods; devolution has steadily shifted responsibility from the federal government to the states; tax incentives have become the weapon of choice in the battle to attract business investment. |
