This paper provides a tax audit guide, gathering all indirect audit methods applied both in Greece and abroad. It also identifies the size of hidden tax base and of the amounts that could be revealed and taxed. The aim of the current study is to present the indirect audit methods, as this is the imperative future of tax audits. Indirect methods are applied mainly to individuals, as according to experience, money that has escaped taxation, always ends up in one or more individuals. There are references in the ways in which this fact can be discovered during a tax audit, how to be determined and how understated income will be converted to taxable matter. Problems, opportunities, legislative framework and the overall impact of indirect audit methods are being analyzed in order to reduce tax evasion, in combination with an empirical research conducted as part of this study. A questionnaire that is consisting of 31 questions was completed by 102 tax-employees of the region of Macedonia and Thrace between May 2017 and September 2017. A factor analysis with the method of principal components and with varimax rotation was applied. The relationship among a number of items by grouping them in factors was investigated. Thus, four factors based on 21 questions of our questionnaire, are used for factor analysis. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) value and chi-square value for Bartlett’s test of sphericity were checked whether data are suitable to continue the process of factor analysis. All statistical analysis is conducted with the application of the SPSS version 22 software package. Keywords: Indirect audit, methods, tax audit, income tax, tax evasion.

This paper aims to lead a reflection on Moroccan tax system stability, which is an important factor that promotes sustainability of public finance.

Afterwards, we examine the empirical measure of each of the concepts, stability, growth rate and stabilizing influence for tax revenues in Morocco. The study focused on value added tax (TVA), IS (corporate tax), IR (income tax), and internal tax on consumption (TIC) over the period 1990-2017. The results demonstrate a good performance of tax revenues in terms of stability over the period 1990-2017, and shows that the Moroccan tax system includes taxes that generate stable current income (TIC and TVA), as well as elastic taxes correlated with economic growth (IS and IR).

AbstractThe fact that an enormous portion of the public revenue is lost through tax evasion indicates the inevitability of taking various measures to suppress it. According to the latest statistics, the outflow from the gross domestic product through tax evasion is 30%. The aim of this paper is to point to the systematisation of the matter relating to an assessment of the efficiency of tax audit as a pillar of the reduction of tax evasion and informal economy in our country. Methodology implies a descriptive research. Collected data were meticulously analysed by means of basic arithmetic operations. Due to serious consequences of tax evasion, it is necessary to upgrade the tax system modelled on developed market economies. It is necessary to modernise a Tax Administration, as well as to improve the co-operation between its segments. A synthetic income tax should be introduced. It would encompass all revenues that a taxpayer generates per year. If all taxpayers settled their tax liabilities, it would create space for tax burden reduction. In legal states only “the bravest” resort to tax evasion. Most countries have undertaken a series of measures in order to suppress tax evasion and informal economy. However, the effectiveness of the struggle varies.

VAT is one of the most decisive tax revenues sources in the EU Member States. Due to financial frauds and insufficient tax system, there is a billion loss of EUR every year in the European budget. The article deals with the impact of the tax evasion on economies of the EU Member States. By applying the top-down approach, we observed tax gaps as a quantifier of tax evasion from 2004 to 2017. The period around the economic crisis in 2009 was examined in more detail, as there was a sharp change in the evolution of tax gaps. We constructed a regression model, which examined the relationship of the tax gap and VAT tax revenues to selected determinants of tax evasion. The results showed that tax gaps in the Member States have been growing every year. We also found that there is an increase in tax revenues, but tax liabilities increase to greater extent.

The importance of tax regulation of foreign economic activity is analyzed in this paper. The dynamics and structure of tax revenues to the State Budget of Ukraine are analyzed as well. Comparative analysis of VAT revenues from goods (works, services) produced in Ukraine and imported into its customs territory is carried out. The relationship between imports and VAT receipts of and excise duty on imported goods is determined. The dynamics and structure of excise duty revenues and import duties are investigated. The factors influencing the change of indicators of tax revenues from import operations are determined. Fiscal efficiency and taxes elasticity coefficient levied on imports are calculated. The regulatory role of special duties types (compensatory, special, anti-dumping), which are collected in order to protect the national producer and consumer is proved. Monitoring of additional customs receipts is carried out as a result of customs value correction by customs authorities. The preconditions and factors influencing the change in the volume of taxes on import transactions are identified. The necessity of improving the mechanism of collecting taxes on import operations is substantiated. It is proposed to reduce VAT rates, which depend on goods saturation in domestic market. Proposal to introduce the reduction factor to the duty rates used in order to stimulate critical and socially significant imports, as well as to investment goods imported into the customs territory of Ukraine is put forward. It seems that the tax policy in terms of import operations should be aimed at ensuring the rational commodity and geographical structure of imports, promoting domestic products competitiveness strengthening and protection domestic market and domestic producers. It is proposed to improve the mechanism of tax administration, which primarily involves focusing on working with dishonest taxpayers, exposing tax evasion schemes, providing appropriate tax collection services to honest taxpayers.

Public discussions concerning tax system reforms are dominated by the view that lowering taxes is the only panacea for stimulating economic growth. But is this really so? To be able to answer this question we need to examine how the level of fiscal burden and structure of budget tax revenues are correlated with GDP growth rate (27 EU countries, data 2000-2018). A relationship that is particularly examined is the correlation between the level of fiscal burden in personal income tax and economic growth rate. Considerably less attention is paid in various analyses to the influence of the structure of budget tax revenues on economic growth.
