Tax Avoidance: Moral or Not?

[Tiberius]

IMO there's a difference between using standard deductions to reduce your tax liability, and using loopholes that were designed for situations that do not match yours, but can be exploited.

So I would say tax avoidance isn't moral. You're actively abusing the system for your own gain.

Taxes are a necessary "evil" that aren't really all that evil. We pay them so that society keeps running; they help pay for public services, they help keep us safe.
