Some individuals and organizations decide not to follow the standard procedure of paying their share of taxes to the government. By not doing so, they are committing a crime under the income tax laws of the US. The act of flaunting the rules and laws institutionalized for the proper functioning of the government is considered a serious offence. While these are often referred to as \’white collar\’ crimes that does not make them more respectable even if the majority of them are committed by \’clean\’ citizens usually with no previous record.
