The share of shadow economy is stable and the tax gap was relatively narrow in 2015, Rivo Reitmann, deputy director general of the Tax and Customs Board, said. He said it is estimated that the tax gap was about as big also in 2016, since no significant new variables have come into play.
Reitmann said the tax gap provides a message of the environment that businesses are operating in and what the level of tax morale. "Non-payment of taxes is no longer talked about as something that is popular, rather the other way round," he added.
