Legal and ethical standards should not be compromised in order to maximize profits and evade taxes. Tax avoidance strategies should be employed that comply with both the letter and spirit of the law. For example, one should not only pay all wages and other expenses to comply with labor regulations, but also seek out tax-deductible ways to offset their liability. Similarly, businesses cannot engage in unethical or improper practices such as pricing gouging or manipulating financial reports in order to paint a false picture of profitability. While businesses are obligated to pay all taxes due, they do not have an ethical responsibility to report false numbers simply for the purpose of decreasing their tax liability.
