Deliberately giving someone a loan with the intent for them not to pay you back is of course tax fraud.
It is up to them to prove that. As long as you do not put into writing, "This loan term is specifically made so you do not have to pay it back", the burden of proof is upon the prosecuting party. If you have a bonified contract with payment terms that have legit interest tacked on, you'll be fine 100% of the time.
and that’s like saying it’s not murder if you don’t leave enough evidence behind
You are not guilty of murder until a jury of your peers convicts you of murder. You may have committed homicide, sure, but the guilty of murder charge only happens after due process. Your logic and reasoning are exactly why you can create a bonified loan contract and not be guilty of tax evasion when "giving" your money away. Just don't put that in specific writing no matter how angry the taxman gets (they will try to get you to turn on each other during an audit).
No.
Ever hear the phrase “getting away with murder”? You do not have to be found guilty of murder for the act that you committed to be murder.
the premeditated killing of one human being by another.
If you plan to kill someone and you kill them, it’s murder, whether or not you ever get caught, charged, or convicted.
If you move or hide money with the intention of avoiding taxes, it’s tax fraud, whether or not you ever get caught, charged, or convicted
No.

Incorrect. The word "murder" has specific legal definitions. Common colloquialisms literally don't matter. You are not guilty of murder until convicted of a murder charge by a jury of your peers or until you plead guilty in a court of law. You can commit homicide and not be found guilty of murder EVEN IF you killed the person maliciously. Hence "getting away with murder."
If you plan to kill someone and you kill them, it’s murder
No, that's homicide. Murder, the legal term, doesn't happen until later.
Just like you can commit tax evasion but not be found guilty of tax evasion. Hence the topic.

This is a red herring on your part and literally doesn't matter for the topic at hand nor have you contradicted me. You've just restated my point back to me but pretended to be a contrarian.

Show me the legal definition of murder that says it’s not murder unless someone is found guilty. If your sister gets murdered and they never catch the killer, your sister was still murdered. This is stupid.

One of your first sentences in this comment chain is literally “this is NOT tax fraud.” That’s wrong. You are wrong. It may be difficult to catch you, but a crime being easy to get away with does not mean you’re not committing a crime
