If we have good evidence that someone is evading tax, we’ll conduct an
investigation. We’ll take prosecution action if we find that significant
evasion has occurred.

Inland Revenue takes these measures to protect the Government’s supply
of tax revenue. Taxes help pay for services we all use, like schools,
hospitals, police services, and roads. If someone doesn’t pay their tax,
everyone in the community misses out.

When a tax evader is sentenced in court, we often issue a media release
to publicise the case.
