Description Tax evasion is a serious problem in developing countries which are in the process of evolving their tax systems. The major causes of tax evasion include high level of tax rates, apathy towards government and its laws, and lenient penal action. Widespread tax evasion is a perennial problem of the Indian tax system. The paper looks at the history of taxation law amendments in India which is essentially a history of plugging loopholes, as and when discovered, to prevent leakages of revenue. To fight the evil of black money and tax evasion in India, some of the important measures taken include reduction in tax rates, minimisation of controls and licences, regulation of donations to political parties, creating confidence among small taxpayers, substitution of sales tax by excise duty, vigorous prosecution policy and compulsory maintenance of accounts.
