Czech Republic: an increasingly sophisticated trade
Original language description
In the Czech Republic, VAT fraud present one of the most serious organised crimes with losses of revenue reaching up to millions of euros.In general, the roots of tax fraud go back to the period of the transition from the communist model to a market economic model in the early 1990s. In the times of transition, the Czech Republic had a spontaneous privatisation with poor legislation. A number of entrepreneurs took advantage of an unclear legal environment and started businesses running tax frauds, insurance frauds, and intentional bankruptcies of privatised companies. In many cases the entrepreneurs used violence to settle disputes. Following the economic and political consolidation in the 2000s, the use of violence subsided at the expense of fraudulent business becoming more sophisticated.
