Avoiding taxes by using the system’s loopholes : getting cash payment to avoid income taxes

Fatawa Question

As-Salam 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allah, I want to thank the Sheikh that takes time to provides us with answers. And I hope In Sha Allah that Allah (SWT) will grant you paradise. I have a Q concerning taxes that the government takes. I mean, my boss asked me to pay some of my hours that I spent in the office in black (i.e. no taxes in). Is this allowed in Islam ?? If I take this money, then I would be cheating on the government. Is this also Haram to work in black, in my spare time I develop websites that I make for small customers. And normally I have to pay taxes for this, but in order to do so, I have to inform the government that I do this. But if I do this, they take a lot of taxes of what I earn. Is this all allowed ? Thx for your answers in advance Wa Salaam 'Alykum
