exhausting all possible tax structures


Explanation:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with the notion of tax structuring in this context. Simply there are many ways to structure one's accounts so that they conform with the prevailing tax codes. In this sense each tax structure represents a different strategy among many. As someone mentioned earlier "tax modalities" would also be appropriate in this context.
