Tax Avoidance vs
Tax Evasion
20
Ethics
Tax Avoidance vs Tax Evasion
- Tax avoidance is generally the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one's own
advantage, to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are
within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the material information to the tax
authorities.
Examples of tax avoidance;
(i) using tax deductions
(ii) changing one's business structure through incorporation or
(iii) establishing an offshore company in a tax haven.
- Tax evasion is the general term for efforts by individuals, firms, trusts and other
entities to evade the payment of taxes by illegal means.
- Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing
the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability,
and includes, in particular, dishonest tax reporting.
Examples of tax evasion;
(i) under declaring income, profits or gains; or
(ii) overstating deductions.
21
Ethics
ICAP Code of Ethics
Threats which may arise;
- Advocacy Threat
- Self Review Threat
Factors to evaluate level of threat;
- The particular characteristics of the engagement
- The level of tax expertise of the client’s
employees.
- The system by which the tax authorities assess
and administer the tax in question and the role of
the firm or network firm in that process
- The complexity of the relevant tax regime and the
degree of judgment necessary in applying it
Usually, no threat is created from following work;
- Assisting clients with their tax reporting obligations
by drafting and compiling information, including the
amount of tax due required to be submitted to the
applicable tax authorities
- Advising on the tax return treatment of past
transactions and responding on behalf of the audit
client to the tax authorities’ requests for additional
information and analysis (for example, providing
explanations of and technical support for the
approach being taken
All Audit Clients
Materiality of amounts should be considered. Threats
which may arise;
- Advocacy Threat
- Self Review Threat
Audit Clients that are Not Public Interest Entities
Safeguards:
- Using professionals who are not audit team members
- Having an appropriate reviewer who was not involved
in providing the service
Audit Clients that are Public Interest Entities
A firm or a network firm shall not prepare tax
calculations of current and deferred tax liabilities (or
assets), if it is material.
