I think that in many cases uncovering a potential tax evasion might not be enough to get that money, it might require prosecution and large scale evidence collection. Maybe it's not worth it unless amount of evaded taxes is large?

Generally the numbers suggest that an additional tax collector brings in a lot more money than he costs.
