I would consider shorting the stock or buying puts to avoid taxes. (you can sell a stock short, then give up your shares later)

This used to be the case in the U. S., but a couple of years ago the law was changed so that "shorting against the box [your broker's vault of stock certificates]" is considered to close out your long position for capital gain or loss purposes.
