> Tax evasion by legitimate means

Tax avoidance is legal. Tax evasion is illegally not paying taxes. (The distinction is purely legal.)

If you don't like someone's tax avoidance, you change the law. If you don't like someone's tax evasion, you prosecute them.



Thanks for the correction, totally mixed up the terms.
