It's not evasion if it's legal, it's avoidance, and it's perfectly legitimate.

It's fully within the bounds of tax law, something which I (and my accountant) made very clear I want to stay within. Our tax code is a joke, yes, and in need of actual reform, but this itself doesn't put me in any legal grey area whatsoever.
