Routledge - Tax Evasion and the Law: UK and USA Analysis

Explore a critical and contemporary evaluation of tax evasion laws and enforcement policies in the United Kingdom and the United States. This volume, part of The Law of Financial Crime series, examines how revenue collection authorities manage the perennial problem of individuals avoiding tax liabilities. Following the financial crisis, there has been a notable shift in the UK toward using the criminal justice system to address tax issues. This book provides a comparative study to help readers understand these changes. It contrasts the UK approach with the US, which maintains a strong record of prosecuting tax evasion crimes. This text is designed for those looking to understand the legal landscape of financial crime across two major global economies. It offers a deep look into how different jurisdictions handle tax compliance and the evolving methods used by authorities to enforce the law.
