Both a natural person and a company can be involved in the process of carrying out a tax audit. The criterion of the complexity of a taxpayer’s affairs does not constitute a factor to avoid a tax audit. Many audits are also carried out on a sample basis.
The importance of tax controls for the state is shown by the fact that they are the only means of suppressing tax evasion, both for direct and indirect taxes collected by the state.
A tax audit is a time-consuming process and sometimes taxpayers accept the final tax assessment in order to escape from such a process.
