Tax Fraud

Tax Fraud

Definition:

IRS tax fraud takes place when a corporation deceives the IRS regarding the about of gross income they receive. This deception is done with the sole purpose of misleading the government. IRS tax fraud can take place by overstating the amount of deductions or claiming false deductions, as well as hiding or secretly transferring assets and/or income.

Consequences of Tax Law:

Defrauding the IRS and evading taxes is a crime in almost all countries. When a corporation commits tax fraud, they will be subject to fines and/or imprisonment. The taxpayer could be subject to pay additional tax liabilities, as well penalties equaling 75 percent of the fraudulently unreported tax. Interest does accrue on the penalty amount and on the underreported tax.
