9 Initial situation for the government in UNDECLARED SALES Estimated more than 160 bln. CZK. VAT GAP According to accessible statistics more than 70 bln. CZK. Previously unresolved problem of carousel frauds and fictitious invoices. Illegal competitive advantage. Unfair for payers who dully meet their tax obligations. AGGRESSIVE TAX PLANNING Tax evasion ranging from 6 to 15 bln. CZK. One of the objectives of the tax strategy prior to the economic crisis was to attract foreign investors on the basis of low corporate tax rates, investment incentives (including tax breaks), tax incentives for research and development. PREASSURE ON INCREASE OF TAX RATES Replacement of better collection of taxes by increase of tax rates is no systemic solution. It affects notably tax payers who duly meet their tax obligations. Non-payments of taxes cannot result in gaining of competitive advantage.
