Tax Crime

Tax crime refers to illegal activities related to taxes, typically involving deceit to avoid paying the correct amount owed to tax authorities. Common examples include tax evasion, where individuals or businesses underreport income or inflate deductions to lower their tax bill, and tax fraud, which involves falsifying information on tax returns. Committing these offenses can lead to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
