ANDERSON 124179 DIRECTOR, GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE BEFORE THE WASHINGTON CHAPTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ACCOUNTANTS ON TAXPAYER NONCOMPLIANCE MAY 16, 1984 I would like to tell you what a pleasure it is to speak to you this evening about IRS' efforts to combat taxpayer noncom- pliance, or the so-called tax gap problem. I hope this pre- sentation will be informative, and provide each of you with a better understanding of this most critical problem and the federal government's efforts to deal with it. Generally speaking, everyone recognizes that the current voluntary income tax system has some problems. The tax laws are complex and difficult to administer, and the system by its very nature is subject to abuse, making compliance enforcement extremely difficult. The system is viewed by many as favoring the rich and those individuals who know how to use the tax laws to their limits. Many believe the system is in need of reform and simplification. But, solutions which could resolve the problems inherent in the current system are difficult, if not impossible, to devise largely because of the overwhelming political and special interest concerns that surface when discussing tax reform.
