Definition
漏税 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to evade taxes'. The verb 漏 ('to leak/omit') and the object 税 ('tax') can be separated when inserting aspect markers, measure words, or modifiers — for example, 漏了税 ('evaded taxes'), 漏过一次税 ('evaded taxes once'). The object 税 always follows the verb directly in the separated form.
