If the tax office discovers and can prove tax evasion, a conviction could result in up to 10 years in prison in the worst case. For minor offenses up to €50,000 in evaded taxes, only conditions or fines are imposed. From €50,000 to €100,000 in evaded taxes, a prison sentence is imposed, which can be suspended. However, surcharges must then be paid, the amount of which depends on the amount of tax evaded. From €1 million in evaded taxes, a prison sentence must be imposed which can no longer be suspended, i.e. you must go to prison.
