Criminal Tax Enforcement

Criminal tax enforcement involves the investigation and prosecution of individuals or businesses suspected of violating tax laws. This can include actions like failing to report income, underreporting taxes owed, or engaging in fraudulent schemes to evade taxes. Agencies like the IRS work with law enforcement to identify and pursue cases of tax fraud. Penalties can include hefty fines, restitution, and imprisonment. The goal of criminal tax enforcement is to ensure compliance with tax laws and maintain the integrity of the tax system, deterring illegal behavior and protecting honest taxpayers.
