What about the citizens who do not intend to evade the tax? What about the circumstances that face the taxpayers and prevent them paying on time, such as illness or technical problems in their computers?

Understanding Taxpayers Behavior

In India, tax compliance has been very low and was estimated to be around 36% in 2017. Indian government had brought in a lot of changes in the tax norms and policies in order to increase the tax compliance.

A provision was made allowing the tax officials to enter any premise and seek any information that is required. This has come in the wake of increasing allegations that black money is being hoarded in the non-government charitable organization post demonetization. These measures give a higher autonomy to the tax officials and increase the chance of a tax evader being caught. Since the likelihood of getting caught increases, the cost of evading taxes become higher thus prompting the taxpayers not to evade taxes
It has been proven that the deterrence policy has an influence on the non-compliant taxpayers’ behaviour. However, threatening them by raising extra fines does not always solve the problem.

What about the citizens who do not intend to evade the tax? What about the circumstances that face the taxpayers and prevent them paying on time, such as illness or technical problems in their computers?

International Taxation

The United States uses the U.S. Model Income Tax Convention as a starting point for treaty negotiations, and European countries and trading partners employ the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Model Tax Convention. The United Nations tax committee has also produced a UN Model Tax Convention.
Compare the U.S. model, OECD model, and the UN model treaties and give your opinion as to which model reduces barriers to international trade and investment by decreasing tax barriers to the international flow of goods and services.
Defend the use of the U.S. model as opposed to the OECD or UN models by the United States. Provide an example to support your defense.

The United States has employed a worldwide system of taxation for the past 100 years. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act upended this system.
