Abstract: 
The article deals with the estimation of a tax gap incurred by devastation of a tax base and concentrates on undervaluation of incomes from an independent activity. The distortion rate was estimated by means of database data from national accounts; the database is internationally comparable. The authors built on indexes that monitor production and intermediate consumption in monitored economies and which are similar to the Czech Republic in some aspects – this concerns Slovakia, Sweden and Austria. Based on these calculations, real tax bases of people with incomes from an independent activity were set. The result of our paper is a total tax gap in the Czech Republic in 2011 and it is CZK 4,6bn – it is such a gross estimation of uncollected collection into public budgets for 2011.
