Criminal tax law
Criminal tax law
Crimes related to tax criminal law refer to crimes related to tax violations (examples: tax fraud, tax forgery and use of false documents, violation of tax professional ban,...).
The tax violator can be prosecuted correctionally by the prosecutor's office.
The public prosecutor may also decide to prosecute common law crimes within the framework of tax criminal law. (Examples: forgery, abuse of trust, money laundering, criminal organization, etc.)
The crime of tax fraud is punishable by imprisonment from eight days to two years and/or a fine from 250 to 500,000 euros. When the crime involves serious tax fraud on personal income tax, the prison term may be increased to five years. The imprisonment and fine amounts depend on the crime committed.
The amounts of these fines still need to be multiplied by the opdeciems. Right now, the opdeciemen are equal to 8. (fine amount x8)
