No need to lie.

When the potential employer asks for your expected wage, you may answer what ever you feel like. If they ask for what you currently earn, simply decline to answer.

Please note that not disclosing everything is not equivalent to lying. Employers never disclose everything; how late projects are, bad technical choices made and so on.
