The Excise Duty Fraud In The Case Of Crossborder Operations With Petroleum Products

I appreciated that the work can be divided into five chapters designed to explain, if possible, the negative effects of fraud and tax evasion, being serious social and economic phenomena that the countries of the world are facing. The indisputable negative effects that the phenomenon of fraud and tax evasion generates are felt directly on the level of tax revenue receipts, causing major distortions in the functioning of the market mechanism. In Romania, the fiscal and budgetary revenues are dependent on the revenues from indirect taxes (VAT, excises, customs duties etc.), while, in the European Union, the contributions of the three major categories of taxes (direct and indirect taxes, social contributions) to the formation of revenues are closely related. Fiscal policy, using taxes, generates psychological, financial, economic, social effects on the social-economic environment. The public power that realizes the reality of the consequences of the tax action adopts as a solution changes in the structure of the tax system in order to modulate the effects consistent with the expected outcomes. Therefore, the extent of the outcomes pursued influences the technical characteristics of the taxes, and these on the micro and macroeconomic effects. In this regard I will show that reducing tax evasion allows the creation of budgetary resources necessary to the allocation of funds for economic growth. Tax settlement strategies based on state taxation policy, the influence of fiscal discipline to combat the underground economy and tax evasion, the improvement of methods and procedures used by the tax system in the tax settlement, perception and control are issues of utmost importance to ensure the feeding of the state budget systems with minimal resources required. In Romania, one of the basic economic problems is the lack of investment resources allocated, these being the main contributor to economic growth, in which the reduction of fraud and tax evasion is the solution to increase this allocation which can be rated as one of the priority tasks of the state.
