Abstract
This chapter presents a preliminary framework to tackle tax evasion in the field of residential renovation. This industry plays a major role in economic development and employment growth. Tax evasion and fraud are extremely difficult to combat in the industry since it is characterized by a large number of stakeholders (manufacturers, retailers, tradesmen, and households) generating complex transactional dynamics that often defy attempts to deploy transactional analytics to detect anomalies, fraud, and tax evasion. This chapter proposes a framework to apply transactional analytics and data mining to develop standard measures and predictive models to detect fraud and tax evasion. Combining big data sets, cross-referencing, and predictive modeling (i.e., anomaly detection, artificial neural network support vector machines, Bayesian network, and association rules) can assist government agencies to combat highly stealth tax evasion and fraud in the residential renovation.
