Avoiding (7)

I think it could be either:

evading

dodging

(Other definitions for evading that I've seen before include "Escaping, giving the slip" , "Escaping (tax/duty)" , "Escaping paying tax" , "'Avoiding, escaping (7)'" , "'Dodging, ducking (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
