國家對人民違反租稅義務之處罰，可施以租稅刑罰或租稅秩序罰。租稅秩序罰中，不論行為罰或漏稅罰，最常見之處罰種類即為罰鍰。對於罰鍰之額度，現行稅法皆有應受法定羈束或容許裁量之規定。當有裁量之空間時，稽徵機關究應如何作出最恰當之裁處，並非易事。財政部乃本於其
職權發布「稅務違章案件裁罰金額或倍數參考表」，供各稽徵機關於行使其裁量權時，有一客觀之標準可茲參照。惟行政罰法於民國95 年施行後，於其第18 條亦有關於裁處罰鍰時應審酌因素之規定。而上述裁罰參考表之規定，是否與行政罰法第18 條規定相一致，即有探討之必要。本文將先說明租稅秩序罰之基本概念，包括租稅刑罰及租稅秩序罰、行為罰及漏稅罰等；其次，以租稅法上有關罰鍰規定之態樣及額度為探討對象；再者，將以行政罰法第18 條規定之各種審酌因素為論究之重點，並及於其與裁罰參考表之關係。然後，再探究裁罰參考表性質及效力，尤其著重
在各種審酌因素之整理及歸納，再從事進一步之檢討，並提出可能之改進建議。最後，則回歸到法院之審查，歸納出法院之立場，以顯現出法院是否確已盡其審查之義務，及須再為改善之處。
