There are a few strategies you can use to avoid paying taxes without getting caught. Firstly, register your business with your local taxing authorities and update them regularly regarding any changes in your business operations. Secondly, take advantage of all the deductions available to you, such as equipment depreciation and overhead expenses. Finally, if your annual profit is close to or below the filing threshold, you may be able to skip filing taxes that year.

There are a few strategies to avoid paying taxes without getting caught. First, closely monitor the amount of income being reported by reviewing all tax documents regularly. Establishing a tax-free retirement plan, like an IRA, is another good way to save on taxes; contributions into the fund are invested and grow tax free. Setting up a company benefit program such as tuition payment assistance or parking stipend can help employee's defer taxes. Additionally, it is important to ensure business vehicles are properly classified and tagged in order to receive correct tax credits/rebates. 
Finally, always double check state and local laws governing taxation —the rules regarding taxation vary depending upon the region which could lead to unforeseen liabilities if not adhered to accurately.
