In my country you can buy a device and write off in 2 years, VAT reimbursed, then scrap it from the books and you sell it to people without tax payed to people who otherwise would pay a pretty hefty VAT. This decreases your loss of value to like half.
It's tax avoidance, not evasion. If it's fully legal then I don't know why wouldn't you recommend it. If you are against it, you can easily pay more in taxes than required yourself.
