The Spring Synagogue of Farmers is a movie of Municipality of Avdeliotis Production 1999.

OR “Summer Synagogue of Tax Office” It is the…. Only every year is even more extensive and more organized.

This summer, based on the Authority’s business plan, its auditors will be poured into the islands and tourist destinations of the Territory to carry out at least 43,000 checks.

Checks that will not be limited to ‘Usual suspects’ such as beach bars, catering and entertainment centers but every tourism business, natural gas stations and even influencers.

According to the Treasury, checks will be differentiated this year in 2 points:

  • Non -locality. Scales from mainland Greece will visit islands and vice versa.
  • Repetition. The fact that a step landed on an island for example and controlled local businesses does not negate that the control can be repeated a few days after the same or different group of auditors.

AADE has arranged to strengthen its arsenal. From air -controlled drones offering valuable information on inaccessible areas to mainly artificial intelligence to analyze the data that will determine who should be checked and the results of the audit process. And of course ‘Masquerades’ In tourists to facilitate on -the -spot checks equipped with tablets and cameras for violations and real -time certificate.

In real time they will also have a picture of the audit of the controls thanks to the very advanced ‘War Room’ that has been set up in the central Piraeus.

Checks will mainly focus:

  • Issuance of receipts and compliance with VAT obligations. Particular concern will be given to identify “teasing” cash with special software that erases evidence and reduce turnover and undeclared cash.
  • Compliance with tax books. It will be checked out what the business cash registers recorded weeks before or after checking
  • Tax behavior of each professional: Subjects will be closely monitored.

The bells heavy:

  • 48 -hour padlock for non -issuance of more than 10 receipts or for transactions without proof exceeding EUR 500.
  • 96 hours of padlocks for incorporated offenses
  • 10 days of padlock and multiple relapses over a period of 2 tax years
  • 10 days padlock for a sealed shop breach
