It analyses the nature of the phenomenon, its causes and consequences. Taxpayers increasingly more often undertake actions aimed at minimizing or even eliminating tax burdens. At the same time, it is expected that as a result of the dissemination of knowledge about the techniques of minimizing the tax burdens, the availability of professional advisory in this aspect, the phenomenon will become even more common than it is now. It bears serious consequences in the form of subsequent lowering of public income. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to this problem and to take thoughtful actions in order to limit this phenomenon.
