Tax avoidance

Evasion from paying taxes is a punishable matter. And, nevertheless, many businessmen and entrepreneurs continue to take risks, deceiving the state. They pay taxes, but not completely. A certain part of the income is hidden from the tax and is not prescribed in the documents. Tax evasion schemes are so diverse and numerous that one can compile an entire encyclopedia listing such methods. Only officially disclosed methods are about two hundred. But there are also schemes that are still in the shadows. However, even those methods that are disclosed by the taxation department are actively practiced, since it is possible to prove the use of fraudulent operations only after thorough investigation. A tax can not control every entrepreneur. Especially when you consider that often businessmen are colluding.

Tax evasion often occurs when an entrepreneur owns a small company and can itself monitor the tax reporting. However, in the case of large organizations, the fact of hiding part of the income is not uncommon. The larger the company, the more money it takes to sidestep. Tax evasion can be accomplished in several basic ways. The most popular method is cooperation with one-day firms. Such companies are created on the side (both in Russia and abroad) specifically so that it is possible to cover part of the income by writing it off. Tax services earlier very quickly calculated such machinations. However, today the matter is complicated by the fact that some of the taxes are still paid by the company, and it is not so easy to open a fraud. After all, everything is in order formally.

However, the tax authorities need only answer the simple question: is there activity in the company? Thrillers have no purpose, except to serve as a cover. Firms-one-day can eventually self-destruct. Such organizations can be very much, and the tax can not simply keep track of each of them. However, an entrepreneur who has dealt with such an organization at least once, runs the risk of getting to the organ's note.

By practicing tax evasion, a company can work with one-day customers according to one of the following schemes. For example, an organization transfers its activities to small performers who carry out the firm's work and take away part of its profits. When checking, it is found that the company and hired performers are one person. The latter serve to hide the share of income. This is a front company in which there are no employees. Moreover, the two organizations have one common account.

One of the simplest tricks that entrepreneurs can apply is cooperation with persons without their official hiring or with companies that are essentially not registered at all. Tax reporting in this case is carried out only on one side, and it is practically impossible to identify the fact of tax evasion. Contractors receive their funds without paying interest to the tax, and the firm - its income, which can not be reflected in the documentation. Tax evasion can have more complex schemes. They are sometimes so confused that it can take a few years. In some cases, scammers even manage to justify themselves.

The most difficult to disclose tax crimes are in the field of international business. After all, in some cases, foreign firms are not subject to VAT at all. A number of companies organize overseas subsidiaries that are not formally associated with the activities of the parent company. And this opens up great opportunities for fraud. For example, a parent company can help a subsidiary financially.
