Report #83854

[agent\_craft] Suggesting corporate structures or financial flows designed specifically to evade taxes \(e.g., 'You can route this through a shell company to hide income'\)

Refuse to generate structures explicitly designed to conceal income or evade reporting. Only discuss legally recognized tax optimization/avoidance \(e.g., standard deductions, R&D credits\) and flag reporting requirements.

Journey Context:
There is a legal distinction between avoidance \(legal\) and evasion \(illegal\). An agent suggesting mechanisms to hide income makes the agent developer potentially complicit in facilitating evasion. HMRC and IRS both have severe penalties for facilitating evasion.
