Summary/Abstract: Through taxes, a significant proportion of gross domestic product is collected and concentrates to the state for financing public spending, giving direct expression of taxation as a set of processes for redistributing GDP. Thus, both in the political and economic, financial and social level it gains a particular importance the issue of dimensioning the part of GDP taken in the form of tax, for the state disposal and, implicitly, for its proportions of fiscal levies, which shows the relative level of taxation also called level of taxation. The amount of income tax, respectively of taxes collected don’t only result in taxable mass and its tax rate, but are also influenced by behavioral factors. In other words, tax revenues to the budget depend on the proportions propensity to evasion or tax for fiscal civism and some studies show that, generally, the greater the tax burden is, the more the tax will decrease fiscal civism (even if only in the spirit of conservation) and increase the propensity to evasion.
