Abstract

The article is devoted to identifying the peculiarities of initiating criminal cases of tax crimes, their investigation, termination of criminal prosecution, as well as explaining the reasons for the introduction of relevant legislative changes. The rejection of more effective, from the point of view of the prospects for obtaining a guilty verdict, methods of conducting criminal prosecution is not due to legislative miscalculations. This is a conscious policy of liberalization, the actual refusal to use criminal repression against taxpayers in favor of maintaining its threat and preference for receiving the amounts of taxes due to the budget.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the existence of a specific criminal procedural format for conducting criminal prosecution against persons who have committed tax crimes. To do this, it is necessary to identify all the procedural features of the initiation, investigation, consideration and termination of relevant criminal cases.

The article used general and special methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, logical, special legal), as well as a comparative legal research method.

According to the results of the study, significant and unparalleled features of criminal prosecution in cases of tax crimes include: the presence of a specific and only possible reason for initiating a criminal case, which further limits the scope of possible charges; “deferred” initiation of criminal proceedings; actual refusal to use preventive measures related to deprivation of liberty; the predominant importance of using property seizure in order to ensure the execution of a sentence; almost total cessation of criminal cases on the grounds of compensation for damage caused to the budgetary system of the Russian Federation and the expiration of the statute of limitations; limiting the possibilities of proving the objective side of tax evasion within the framework of violations established by the tax authorities and the artificial framework of the capabilities of forensic tax examinations.
