Description
Summary:The present study focuses on the question how globalization through mass media and provision of opportunities by the governments of Pakistan affects tax evasion frauds in Pakistan. The secondary data of tax evasion frauds has been analyzed with effect from 1992 to 2008. In Pakistan, the amount of tax as shown by secondary data is decreasing day by day due to the impacts of globalization. White collar crime is a very important element of the globalization because crime is a social phenomenon and affects the whole world. Globalization influences people to save money for the periods of economic recessions. Stimulation of savings increases the chances of tax evasion fraud among personnel. Tax evasion fraud is one of the important types of white collar crime which has been focused in the present research. Tax evasion fraud is the fraud committed by the officials, wealthy personnel and corporations by misrepresenting the amount of taxes. The objective of the study is to explore the role of mass media and the provision of opportunities by the governments of Pakistan to commit the acts of tax evasion frauds. Misuse of print and electronic media and inability of the state of Pakistan to legislate good laws are promoting the tax evasion frauds in Pakistan.
