Explanation:
I don't see any payment in the assessment-stage wording.

Umsatzsteuer .... verkürzt: created a turnover tax/VAT shortfall of.



Example sentence(s):
  • Steuern sind namentlich dann verkürzt, wennSteuern sind nach deutschem Steuerrecht namentlich dann verkürzt, wenn sie nicht in voller Höhe oder nicht rechtzeitig festgesetzt werden

neutral  Lancashireman: 'To produce a shortfall': Surely a contradiction in terms? 'Dodge', even with the inverted commas, may not be the appropriate register.
5 hrs
  -> Not really a contradiction: a shortfall can be left, created or produced: 'Projections show that the FY2011 budget will produce a shortfall of at least $10 billion'. Nor - for the dodge - do we know if this is a tax notice or a journalistic context.
