One getting money from scheme for tax evasion, principally (5)
I believe the answer is:
payee
'one getting money' is the definition.
(someone getting paid)
'scheme for tax evasion principally' is the wordplay.
'scheme for tax' becomes 'PAYE' (Pay As You Earn tax system).
'principally' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'evasion' is 'e'.
'paye'+'e'='PAYEE'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for payee that I've seen before include "One receiving money" , "Person to whom money is made out" , "One given money" , "Receiver of money" , "The one to whom cheque is made out" .)
