Bypassing; dodging (7)

I believe the answer is:

evading

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
