Payment of taxes exists so that when we retire, each of us receives a certain amount of money every month. It would be a shame if someone had worked for about twenty-five years for the good of the state, and when it came time to relax, the country's leaders would have forgotten about their former workers. It is in order not to be afflicted in old age, in youth you need to pay a certain percentage of your salary, which is called a tax.
Naturally, if you do not work out an officially defined number of years, then retirement is also possible for you. It occurs after reaching a specified age. In this case, citizens will also receive money, but they will be equal to the minimum standards, which will be very difficult to live on.
It is clear that the higher the salary, the higher the percentage will need to be paid to the state treasury. This is best understood by wealthy businessmen who earn on a monthly basis like several small cities combined. But because of this, they have to pay a lot of taxes. Even if you calculate all the money that they will give the state in a lifetime, you can easily assume that they still do not have to count on a very high pension.
That is why many rich people hide their real incomes from the state, thereby committing tax crimes. To investigate this type of fraud, a special structure has been created - the tax police, and, as you know, jokes are bad with it. The purpose of such an organization is to identify violators, seize the right amount of money and punish. And the punishment for tax crimes directly depends on the amount of hidden finances and the frequency of such frauds of the state.
An investigation of tax crimes can begin in relation to almost every citizen whose financial situation is in doubt. This applies to both individuals and legal entities. As for enterprises, if illegal documentation is revealed in their documentation, the company closes, and its managers go to different places for less time.
Tax crimes have a very negative effect on the state budget. Thus, law-abiding citizens suffer from deceivers. As a result, identifying a person who evades paying taxes is equal to the public debt of each of us.
In principle, every rich man who does not want to share his hard-earned money with not quite honest government officials can also be understood. But this only happens if the businessman himself honestly acquired great finances.
As we can see, a huge number of modern oligarchs come from the nineties. Not a very knowledgeable person may be outraged that everyone knows about their tax evasion at one time, but no one punishes them. And all because there is a certain limitation period for tax crimes.
This time period is different. The term depends on how long tax crimes have been committed. In addition, the amount of hidden cash plays an important role. If this amount is five years behind bars, then, accordingly, after five years, the state will no longer have claims against this person. And all because for such a period, as a rule, the state can already eliminate budget gaps. Naturally, the hidden money of the country's leaders under the law should no longer be of interest to the relevant authorities. Everyone can discuss whether this is fair or not, but they cannot influence current laws.
