Evasion involves deliberately avoiding duties, accountability, or detection, commonly taking the form of illegal tax reduction, dishonest communication, or security circumvention. Key examples include underreporting income, hiding assets in offshore accounts, falsifying records, using diversionary language in conversation, or using malware to bypass cybersecurity defenses.
Evasion also means "dodging something you are supposed to do" like your evasion of your chores by pretending to be sick. Evasion can also mean "the deliberate act of failing to pay money," like tax evasion, not paying your taxes.
To be evasive is to avoid something, whether it's a touchy subject or the person who's "it" in a game of tag. If you're dodging the truth and not giving straight answers, then you're being evasive. Which is probably not the best strategy when the police are asking the questions.
Perhaps the most notorious tax evasion scandal of all is that of Al Capone. The Chicago gangster dodged taxes until 1931, when he was convicted of five counts of tax evasion and served 11 years in prison.
