As my old boss woud say "tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is our right".
And I absolutely agree. If there is some sort of loophole where one can legally save on taxes, as a manager of a private business, it is your job to exploit it. Your mandate is to maximize company profits. It is up to the government to close any loopholes it finds.
