In fact, Modi is considered a kind of privilege, and non-payment of taxes is considered a crime, and from the society’s point of view, that person is considered a criminal and a mistake.

Unfortunately, in our country, for unknown reasons, tax evaders have not been dealt with seriously until recent years, and the necessary provisions of the law had not been made. Perhaps this is why in the past tax evasion was not only a crime and an anomaly, but also a privilege and a wise deed for the wrongdoer.

In recent years, due to the importance of tax revenues in financing the country and its impact on the development of a healthy competitive economic environment, detailed expert studies on tax evasion and predicting penalties and legal action against this unusual phenomenon have been conducted.

Article 275 states that legal persons who commit these tax offenses are sentenced to one of the following punishments for a period of six months to two years:

• 1. Prohibition of one or more occupational activities
