Abstract

The economic model of tax evasion applies the economic theory of crime to ask how much income a taxpayer should conceal from the tax collection agency. Undetected underreporting allows taxpayers to keep a higher proportion of income, but detection results in fines. Despite economic incentive to evade, the tax system works and a majority of taxpayers accurately pay income taxes. What forces encourage compliance here, and discourage taxpayers from taking advantage of a profitable gamble? The economic model of tax evasion is presented, as is the economic literature on the subject. A theoretical analysis of this allows conclusions to be drawn about strengths of the tax collection system.
