22. Ethics
Tax Avoidance vs Tax Evasion
- Tax avoidance is generally the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one's own
advantage, to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are
within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the material information to the tax
authorities.
Examples of tax avoidance;
(i) using tax deductions
(ii) changing one's business structure through incorporation or
(iii) establishing an offshore company in a tax haven.
- Tax evasion is the general term for efforts by individuals, firms, trusts and other
entities to evade the payment of taxes by illegal means.
- Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing
the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability,
and includes, in particular, dishonest tax reporting.
Examples of tax evasion;
(i) under declaring income, profits or gains; or
(ii) overstating deductions.

23. Ethics
Tax Avoidance vs Tax Evasion
Payment of tax is avoided by complying with law but defeating
the intension of the law.
Payment of tax is avoided through illegal means or fraud.
Taking advantage of loopholes in the law Employing unfair means & practices
It is done by complying the provision of law It is an unlawful way of paying lower taxes and defaulter may

tax liability arises.
Tax evasion is blatant fraud and is done after the tax liability
has arisen.

the FBR, to claim a tax credit in future when computing the tax
liability.
Falsifying income tax return

degree of judgment necessary in applying it

- Assisting clients with their tax reporting obligations
by drafting and compiling information, including the
amount of tax due required to be submitted to the
applicable tax authorities
- Advising on the tax return treatment of past
transactions and responding on behalf of the audit
client to the tax authorities’ requests for additional
information and analysis (for example, providing
explanations of and technical support for the
approach being taken
All Audit Clients
Materiality of amounts should be considered. Threats
which may arise;

- Having an appropriate reviewer who was not involved
in providing the service
Audit Clients that are Public Interest Entities
A firm or a network firm shall not prepare tax
calculations of current and deferred tax liabilities (or
assets), if it is material.
