Yes, it is still a lie. But I don't subscribe to the premise that all lies are immoral and/or unethical. Some lies are justifiable. The question was a response to the false-implication that cheating on taxes "may be" a lie. It's a lie. Period. We can debate the justification.

Whether ethically a lie or not, only a gullible idiot would tell the thief (or the government, but I repeat myself) that he has any more money than he absolutely has to admit to.

depends who you ask. And whose framework you decide to go by, but once you decide you shouldnt switch back and forth unless your ethical system says you should. I believe david hume might have come up with the idea that we have to make a value judgement
-
I could be mistaken but hume pointed out that you have to weigh not just the consequences to the thief for being lied to but also the damage we do to him by encouraging him and everybody else. It takes a value judgement
