constante trabajo fiscalizador

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs Taxation
Hola,

El texto a continuación está relacionado con el tema de planificación fiscal:

Baja percepción del riesgo por parte de los sujetos pasivos: En este caso, siempre he sido del criterio que la culpa de las evasiones fiscales no es la falta de normativa, sino que por el contrario es la ineptitud de los fiscos. Un fisco lazy o perezoso no va a cosechar las mismas recaudaciones que un fisco activo y de constante trabajo fiscalizador

if you don't fancy "meticulous" as maybe too free, I would suggest "consistent" but I wouldn't go with "constant"

Un fisco lazy o perezoso no va a cosechar las mismas recaudaciones que un fisco activo y de constante trabajo fiscalizador.

A lazy tax authority/administration won't harvest the same (tax) revenue as an active authority/administration with that exercises consistent auditing.

forgot the / in the last bit... should read "with/that exercises" consistent auditing

I think we have to see your question in consideration of the wider context. This often happens when you have to ask about but specific terms or phrases so...

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2 hrs (2020-04-26 02:48:40 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

now we also have to consider if "fisco" is a person or an authority

--------------------------------------------------

I would opt for "authority" but let's see what others have to say on this

and "collect" as an alternative to "harvest"
Note from asker:
I agree with you David, "trabajo" is implicit.
That´s right David; actually "fisco" is the Tax authority not a person. Concepto de fisco. Se refiere al Estado, que en su carácter de persona jurídica, se inviste de potestad tributaria como organismo recaudador, para lograr por medio del cobro de impuestos, tasas y contribuciones, solventar necesidades de interés general y particular de los contribuyentes

regular spot-checking for compliance

I don't think field work as in the ProZ ref. 'works' here, as tax (UK Inland Revenue / HMRC) clerks (I have known and working in Central London) may not go out and about at all, but be alerted to tax non-payers and companies who or that submit no tax returns at all, leave an empty tax file and may be caught in a Revenue criminal prosecution net at a later date.
Example sentence:

Tax compliance checks - what HMRC can check, how the checks are conducted and what you'll need to do.
