The economic impact of tax compliance interventions
REFNo: SS1699ES
This study focuses on three problems.
The first problem is documenting what costs companies incur when receiving different compliance actions. While anecdotal evidence suggests these could be substantial, there has, to the best of our knowledge, not been no systematic survey documenting the costs incurred by companies.
The second problem is estimating where to optimally target what compliance actions bearing in mind the costs to companies and spillover effects. This involves three steps, 1) estimate the impact of compliance actions on the targeted company, 2) estimate the spillover effects of these compliance actions on the targeted company’s’ trading partners, 3) conduct heterogeneity analyses to understand which groups of taxpayer experience the highest/lowest impact. Gaining a good understanding of this problem will help increase the benefit-cost ratio of enforcement interventions.
Finally, if we find that firms change their tax filings after receiving a compliance intervention, we will seek to understand what drives this change in behavior. Theoretically, the mechanism behind a firms’ response is unclear. Firms could respond because they update their beliefs about the likelihood of being caught for tax evasion, because they realize that being caught is costlier, or because the intervention imposes a financial burden on the company mechanically change the amount of taxes they pay.
