"Tax amnesty" is a limited-time opportunity for a specified group of taxpayers to pay a defined amount in exchange for forgiveness of a tax liability(including interest and penalties) relating to a previous tax period or periods and without fear of criminal prosecution. It typically expires when some authority begins a tax investigation of the past-due tax.... Canada has a "tax amnesty" under both the "Income Tax Act" for income tax-related offences and under the "Excise Tax Act" for GST/HST(goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax) matters. 2, record 1, English, - tax%20amnesty

En la literatura se suele citar, por su carácter global, la definición aportada por Lerman [...]: por amnistía fiscal, "se entiende una medida o conjunto de medidas con el fin de condonar penas o sanciones de carácter civil y criminal a los contribuyentes, que admitan voluntariamente no haber pagado la deuda impositiva correspondiente a impuestos de períodos precedentes —o haberlo hecho parcialmente—, y que ahora declaran por entero". 3, record 1, Spanish, - amnist%C3%ADa%20fiscal
