“…The audit strategy with the main objective to increase state tax revenues aims to catch and prevent tax evasion carried out by the taxpayers (European Commission, 2006).

The results of the tax audit are expected to be a trigger for other taxpayers to be more efficient.…”

It encourages audited companies and other companies of similar industries to be more efficient (Bayer & Cowell, 2016). Audited taxpayers will be more conservative in reporting their taxes and planning future taxes (Brushwood, Johnston, & Lusch, 2018).…”
