Criminal Justice and Taxation

Criminal Justice and Taxation

0 - Default Title
Description
The fallout from the financial crisis of 27-8, HSBC Suisse in 215, and the Panama Papers in 216 has generated calls for far more vigorous and punitive responses to tax evasion and greater international co-operation against mechanisms for giving anonymity to the ownership of property. One mechanism to ensure compliance is the use of the criminal justice system. The announcement in 213 by the then Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, of a policy ofincreasing rates of prosecution for tax evasion raised squarely the issue of whether increased involvement of criminal law and criminal justice in tax evasion would be justifiable or not. The relationship between tax evasion and the proceeds of crime is taking on increasing importance: treating the'proceeds of criminal tax evasion' as falling within the 'proceeds of crime' regime inevitably expands the scope of both.
In this book, Peter Alldridge considers the development of the offences and the relationship between tax evasion offences and other criminal offences; the relevant rules of evidence; prosecution structures, decision-making processes, and alternatives to prosecution. Specific topics include offshore evasion and the relationship of tax evasion with other crimes and aspects of the criminal justice system. A topical and lively discussion of a heated debate.
