The line between aggressive tax planning and tax evasion has narrowed significantly under the OECD BEPS framework, the EU's DAC and equivalent national regimes, with structures that were defensible a decade ago now triggering criminal-referral exposure or facilitation-of-tax-evasion prosecutions. This report sets out the tax-risk framework in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the prevailing regulatory and prosecutor posture, the disclosure and reportable-transaction regimes, the substance-over-form tests, and the personal-liability exposure for advisers and senior officers. It documents the scenarios that have produced enforcement or restatement (transfer-pricing failures, aggressive treaty-shopping, GAAR challenges, criminal facilitation cases), the warning indicators, the impact ranges, and the governance framework, with triggers for engaging tax counsel.
