An Application on the Role of Tax Audits in Preventing the Informal Economy

Abstract

Although its size changes today, it is among the important economic and financial objectives to bring the informal economy, which is seen in almost every country, to a minimum. One of the main reasons for this situation is the tax dimension of the informal economy. At this point, tax audits, which are one of the tools that can be used in the fight against the informal economy, gain importance. In the study, a survey was conducted with tax auditors in order to reveal the role of tax audits in Turkey in preventing the informal economy and to determine how to minimize tax audits and informality. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to 405 tax inspectors working in the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. According to the results of the survey, it has been concluded that the high tax burden increases the informal economy, the penalties for tax evasion are not enough deterrent and the frequent tax amnesties increase the tax evasion and the informal economy. In addition, since the informality is different in each sector, the need to develop tax awareness through education in order to develop special audit techniques for sectors with high informality and to create social awareness came to the forefront as the subjects emphasized by the participants.
