税局将进行随机审计
3在接下来的一年中，税局将对数以百计的中小型企业，以及个体纳税人开展随机审查，来估计税收缺口。 “税收缺口为税局估计的理论上应征收税额和居民实际报税的差额”。 而一个税局的审计可能会花费您数千元。 谁将会被审核？ 税局发言人回应 “只有在我们有充分的理由相信，纳税人没有履行纳税义务的情况下，纳税人才会被审计。” 繁琐的过程 没有纳税人想要被税局审计。“即使纳税人平时都履行纳税义务正确报税，他们也不会希望被税局审计。” 这次的审计将会是在数以千万计的样本中随机抽查，并不会事先对某些企业或个人审核风险。税局委员说他理解这可能会对成千上万的纳税人造成不便，并且诚实的纳税人也可能会感到被冒犯。 “事实上这样的审核可能会发现一些不当行为，但在这个过程中，被审计到的纳税人应该明白这是一个来确定税收缺口的方法，他们在帮助税务系统。” 数据 让我们来看看最近来自海外的数据。美国国内税务署（IRS）预计其2006年的税收缺口是6250亿澳元，而英国预计他们的税收缺口（包括所得税）为727亿澳元。 税局发布了他们估计有30亿澳元的税务缺口是归咎于逃税和错误报税。重要的是这个数据还不包括所得税。如果把所得税也计算在内，则税务缺口将会达到数百亿澳元。 主要调查结果 以下是税局2014-15年度的税收缺口调查结果： 2013-14 GST消费税差额估计在27亿澳元 2013-14 豪华车税差额估计在150万澳元 2011-12 工资预付税差额估计为31亿
