Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation refers to the process undertaken by tax authorities to identify and address instances where taxpayers have failed to fulfill their tax obligations, such as not filing required returns or not paying owed taxes.
This investigation typically involves reviewing financial records, tax returns, and other relevant documentation to determine the extent of the delinquency. Tax authorities may employ various methods, including audits and interviews, to gather information. If non-compliance is confirmed, the taxpayer may face penalties, interest on unpaid taxes, and potential legal action.
Examples of circumstances that may trigger a Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation include a marked discrepancy between reported income and lifestyle, failure to file multiple years of tax returns, or significant underreporting of taxable income.
