>It's not tax avoidance, it's tax minimization. There is a big difference. I thought "Tax avoidance" was the legal term for legally minimizing your tax burden, so "avoidance" and "minimization" would be largely synonymous. "Tax evasion" I thought, was the term for avoiding taxes through illegal means.
