Basically, tax evasion is illegal and tax avoidance is a legal mitigation of tax. Tax evasion means breaking the law by paying less tax than one is legally obliged to pay, e.g. by filing an incorrect tax return on purpose. In contrast, tax avoidance is doing everything possible within the law to reduce the tax bill. On this note, there is famous quote of Learned Hand, an American judge worth mentioning: “There is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible – nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”
A politically exposed person (PEP) is a term used for person with actual or former ties in politics or public office, it refers to someone who has been appointed by a public institution, an international body or a state to a high-profile position within the last 12 months, basically an individual who is or has been entrusted with a prominent public function.
As clients, PEPs generally present a higher risk for potential involvement in illicit or unlawful activities such as bribery and corruption by virtue of their position and the influence. Hence, an enhanced KYC due diligence applies to for such persons and their family members to manage and mitigate such risk.
