Tax fraud

A taxpayer who commits fraud is fined one hundred percent (100%) of the tax owed. In addition to the penalty, the Tax Administration sends a file to the Prosecutor (Prosecution) if the taxpayer voluntarily avoids the tax, such as using bank accounts, forging documents or any other act punishable by law. If convicted, the taxpayer may be imprisoned for between six (6) months and two (2) years.

There is a decree of the Minister that determines the reward given to any person who condemns a taxpayer who engages in tax fraud.
