Abstract
This paper aims at presenting a theoretical explanation of economic factors involved in the emergence and development of tax evasion in the VAT system. According to the model proposed here, it is inferred that an increase in the cost payments subject to VAT will result in an increase of tax evasion or a decrease of tax compliance. Moreover, an increase in the probability of being caught or an increase in the sanction rate (as for cases where the tax files are not investigated) will result in an increase of tax compliance level and a result, in a decrease of tax evasion. The findings obtained, having supported theoretically, can help the Iranian VAT authorities in adopting a variety of appropriate policies to prevent tax evasion.

Abstract
This paper is aimed at exploring the relationship between taxes and market structure within the framework of the relationships among three variables “industry’s monopolist power” (market concentration degree), “tax” (corporate income effective tax rate), and “company’s start up costs” (represented by “capital inventory”). The period covered is 1995-2005. The estimation has been done through making use of Schumpeter, Galbraith, and Sutton’s ideas. Findings of this paper are consistent with Schumpeter and Sutton’s ideas since they show that with an increase in the tax rates, the market monopolist power increases while an increase in the capital inventory will make it more difficult for the firms to get into the industry and as a result, both the market monopolist power and the market concentration degree will go up.
