> If you do the work but undervalue it, it's likely tax fraud
Probably not, it's just giving a discount. Nothing wrong with that. Many companies sell goods or services below cost. To gain other benefits like market share, or new customers. Why not do it to get something else essential from another company?
> If you do the work but overvalue it, it's likely investor fraud
It probably depends on the situation. If it's mainly used to inflate sales figures and scam investors, then probably yes. If it's just a "good deal" then probably not.

As you say, many companies offer discounts and don’t hide that. People who commit tax fraud usually aren’t transparent about their “discounts”.
- andix 5mo agoDiscounts are often not transparent. Have you ever seen a SaaS that lists "Enterprise pricing: contact us"? It's basically saying they give you as much discount as you need to be able to afford the service. And those discounts are very secret by design.

- DANmode 5mo agoThis is actually the most charitable interpretation of “Contact Us”. If I want to sell my SaaS to small primary schools for 90% off, I should be able to do that. Probably. Let’s discuss.
