Tax amnesties are widespread in terms of time and territory. We can find them already in ancient time. Today world suffer big crises on different levels. We talk about financial, debt and economical crises. In such situation tax amnesties are in vogue. They offer the possibility to collect additional money without introducing new taxes or raising the present ones, beside enlarging the taxpayers database, which sounds attractive to politicians. But tax amnesties, on the other hand, generate also negative effects, decreasing tax morale as one of the most negative effect of tax amnesty, which, in long run, ends in lower tax revenues.
In the first part of my thesis tax amnesty has been analised from different points of view, political, legislative and macroeconomical. Additionally, reasons pro and contra tax amnesty have been analised. Finally, tax amnesties have been presented in practise.
In the second part of my thesis voluntary tax disclosure has been analised. Differences between tax amnesty and voluntary tax disclosure are, that in first case period of time, which is given to taxpayer to use the amnesty, is strictly determinated by law, while in second case the period of time is not determinated. Additionally, tax amnesty is for taxpayer more favourable, being obligated to pay only part of evaded taxes on lower degree, while in the case of voluntary tax disclosure, all tax duties must be payed in whole amount, whith surcharge of interest.
The institute of voluntary tax disclosure is described in ZDavP-2 and gives, under the fulfilment of conditions, determinated by law, the taxpayer certain benefits in the area of misdemeanor law, while in the area of tax law taxpayer is sanctionated with a surcharge on interest, in order to report irregularities to tax office as soon as possible. Succesfully realised voluntary tax disclosure do not exclude automatically the responsability for any of the criminal offences, described in KZ-1.
The institute of voluntary tax disclosure do not eliminate the presence of tax minor offence, but it makes it unpunishable, what is not the case for tax criminal offence. To say in other words, the willingness of the taxpayer is strongly suported with the promise not to be punished, but the promise refers only to tax minor offence and not also to tax criminal offence. Taxpayer can be therefore with such »invitation«, mislead to incriminate himself to commit a much harder tax criminal offence, which can be understood also as the violance of the privilage against self-incrimination.
In this work i argued with the thesis, that the consequences of voluntary tax disclosure should be stretched also to tax criminal offence. In such case the institut of self-incrimination would not cause the inequality handling of taxpayers. The institut of self-incrimination would not be, in such case, understood as self-incrimination for tax criminal offence and the privilage against self-incrimination would not be violated. To reach this goal, privilage against self-incrimination has been analised, tax minor offences and tax criminal offences have been analised, tax criminal offence under the article 249. of KZ-1 has been analised, tax and criminal proceeding have been compared, parallel proceedings have been analised and finally, the institut of voluntary tax disclosure in Republic of Slovenia has been analised. |
