The informal economy has become one of the most important
problems in our country as a result of informal employment in working life.
While economic, legal, social and cultural reasons are influential in the
emergence of informal employment, the financial burden on employment are shown
as one of the most important causes of informal employment in Turkey. However,
the greatest loss of informal economic activities to the economy is tax loss.
The tax burden on formal employees is increased to eliminate deficits in the
government's budget result of informal activities. This situation further
increases the informality. For this reason, the state is trying to reduce
informality with policies. In this study, the relationship between informal
employment, the index of industrial production as a determinant of economic
growth and tax revenues was investigated by using Multiple Regression Analysis
with monthly data for 1996-2017 period. According to the analysis results,
there is a positive relationship between the industrial production index and
informal employment, but a negative relation with the income tax.
