The dissertation deals with value added tax fraud on the fuel market in the Czech Republic. This commodity is used in carousel fraud. In the chains of taxpayers there are missing traders who fail to meet their tax obligations. Their business strategy is based on quick sales at unusually low prices which do not allow honest parties to compete. Therefore, the Czech Republic in the year 2010 asked the European Commission about the possibility of introducing a reverse charge for fuel. The request was rejected. The aim of the dissertation is to create a methodological tool for the early identification of potential tax fraud on value added tax. Another goal is to propose solutions that can effectively help reduce fraud on a selected commodity market. The theoretical part presents the approaches of authors dealing with economic crime, judicature of courts and expert reports. On the basis of this knowledge an area in which it is possible to propose solutions to the problem was defined. The goals are met in several stages. First, by analysing market various entities involved in fuel trading are characterized. Information about trading practices is derived from interviews and a survey carried out on a sample of distributors and petrol station operators. The last stage is collection of information about available prices which are further processed. On the basis of the results obtained risk characteristics of potential tax fraudsters are given. After evaluation of price databases a methodology was created that allows determining the usual price and measuring risk zones. As the introduction of the methodology is related to legislative changes, these changes are subsequently defined. Finally, recommendations are formulated for effective use of the methodology as a tool to reduce tax fraud.
