Our goal is
that all taxpayers meet their tax obligations and voluntarily pay the
correct tax due. While the vast majority of taxpayers do
voluntarily file their tax returns, some are not voluntarily compliant.
Effective and coordinated audit, collection, and criminal investigation
activities deter tax avoidance and abuse and are important elements in
providing a fair tax system for all taxpayers.
New special investigations units combat tax abuse and evasion
Increased
criminal enforcement is a Department priority. Recently, we more than
quadrupled our fraud fighting forces by deploying specially trained
multi-disciplinary investigations units statewide. Teams of auditors,
investigators and attorneys are using all the enforcement tools at their
disposal to stop those engaged in tax evasion and fraud at the expense
of other taxpayers and their communities.
