      Assuming they’re talking about what most businesses, especially large ones with huge legal resources, do: exploit loopholes to not pay, or pay reduced, taxes.

          I’m sure they mean fraud in the colloquial sense, not the legal sense.

            From my personal lemmy experience, a lot of people would consider it actual (legal) fraud that’s just not being prosecuted because the perpetrator/s are wealthy.

              That would depend on if the person were replying to meant actual/legal fraud, or just bad faith fraud. But I’m sure both happen.

                In this specific instance, sure, but overall, my bet is on them meaning actual fraud.
