An influence of spin-orbit interaction on the tunneling between two 2D electron layers is considered. Particular attention is addressed to the relation between the contribution of Rashba and Dresselhaus types. It is shown that without scattering of the electrons, the tunneling conductance can either exhibit resonances at certain voltage values or be substantially suppressed over the whole voltage range. The dependence of the conductance on voltage turns out to be very sensitive to the relation between Rashba and Dresselhaus contributions even in the absence of magnetic field. The elastic scattering broadens the resonances in the first case and restores the conductance to a larger magnitude in the latter one. These effects open possibility to determine the parameters of spin-orbit interaction and electrons scattering time in tunneling experiments with no necessity of external magnetic field.
