Tax evasion involves breaking the law: not paying one's taxes where the law clearly states they must be paid. (This includes illegal tax avoidance.)
Tax avoidance (the legal kind) is defined in the 1995 Oxford Dictionary as "the arrangement of one's financial affairs so that one only pays the minimum amount of tax required by law."
There is nothing wrong with doing everything you can to minimize your tax liability, as long as you do not break the law, and that is where tax planning comes in. Tax planning includes but is not limited to:
EXAMPLE OF TAX AVOIDANCE VS. TAX EVASION
Tax avoidance: Using tax deductions (itemized deductions on Sch A, business expenses on Sch C or Form 2106) to reduce your taxable income;
Tax evasion: Claiming erroneous tax deductions or exemptions, such as claiming a dependency exemption for a nonexistent dependent, deducting charitable contributions you did not actually pay, or deducting business or rental expenses you did not actually pay.
Evasion involves using illegal actions (sham transactions, fabricated expenses, things like that) to not pay a tax that is due. Planning uses allowed structures and methods to reduce or delay the tax due, but making it so the amount and when paid are the best result for the taxpayer.
Tax planning is legal while tax avoidance will get you into a lot of trouble
Corporate planning is planning made for your business while tax planning is minimizing the taxes you pay in a legal manner
Tax evasion is knowingly and purposely not paying taxes to the government or attempting hide taxable monies. Many celebrities have been charged with tax evasion simply because their accountants didn't know what they were doing.
