Timing tax evasion
Article Abstract:
Most of the households in United States and other countries believe that tax evasions entail a risk of being discovered, in which event, they will have to pay up the tax amount. However, if the tax evasion remains undetected, they can get away with it. To counter this attitude, two methods are suggested. The first one considers increasing the fines as per the duration of tax evasion. The other method contemplates controls on switching of the incomes from different sources for tax evasion.
