Kluczowe aspekty ścigania sprawców oszustw podatkowych

In the content of the article, the authors present the current shape and shortcomings of the provisions related to bringing tax perpetrators to tax liability. They indicate that existing solutions are often impractical and do not fit into the socio-economic environment. To illustrate this issue, they focus their considerations on newly granted competences of the financial authorities of preparatory proceedings and dimensional tax decision, seen as a prejudication ruling in fiscal penal cases. The conclusion of the article is a proposal to verify the legitimacy of further maintaining the current shape of criminal law solutions and to consider the possibility of shifting the responsibility of the so-called “proper tax frauds” on the plane of administrative liability. In this view, fiscal criminal liability would only apply to the perpetrators of the most serious crimes committed generally in the foreground of tax fraud. In this case, the criminal tone of the act, has a very clear advantage over its fiscal tone, as part of the broadly understood social harmfulness of such crimes. This undoubtedly should determine criminal liability.
