Definition
逃税 is a separable verb-object (离合词): the verb 逃 can separate from the object 税 to insert time words, measure words, or complements, e.g., 逃了三年税 ('evaded taxes for three years'). It also works as a noun meaning 'tax evasion'. Don't put an object directly after 逃税; instead, use 逃税 as the predicate or pre-modify it with 的.
