Of Chrysostom Chufi

Her summer business AADE (This is what this year’s constant control operation has been called)…. As the whole territory turns into a great “festival” to celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin in the heavens, the last one that AADE wants is the three -day one to become a “tax evasion festival”.

For this reason, the Authority’s auditors will be poured into islands and continental destinations to set up their… dock in restaurants, bars and beach bars, festivals and events. In fact, the administration of their Authority has “provided” with the right to do checks Throughout the Greek territory and not only in the area of their jurisdiction. A Preveza Tax Office with another from Arta can leave and control, the beach bars of Pieria for example or an island.

Just because the checks will be done on such a large scale, they cannot be accidental. On the basis of the plan that has been drawn up, the results of data crossings, turnover indicators per industry, mydata data, of course, complaints that have been deemed to be controlled but also the … tax office with proven infringers of previous years, candidates for relapses, and therefore.

Armed with tablets, which are installed to apply controls that allows for immediate VAT and income verifications, they will control POS and cash data but will also see with their eyes – as they will represent tourists – if everything is OK.

The design also says that this weekend AADE will… lift drones. On the one hand to scan inaccessible areas with secluded villas, “frantic” theaters of a large tax evasion.

On the other hand, to assist control over the offenses on the coast by businessmen who circumvent their contracts and spread their sun beds out of bounds.

The usual ways of tax evasion are known:

  • Non -interconnection POS – Cashier
  • Avoid issuing proof
  • Issuing Inaccurate Proof
  • ‘Teasing’ cash
  • Seasonal ‘ghosts’ companies to avoid giving VAT

Penalties vary from fines of up to 48 -hour padlocks if no more than 10 receipts have been issued or the value of the receipts that have not been issued exceeds € 500.

Reconstruction results in a 96 -hour padlock.

10 -day padlock is the result of multiple violations within 2 years.

The worst for the entrepreneur who will find himself tax evasion is another and is double.

On the one hand, immediately after the infringement certificate, they start checking in their books at least 5 years.

On the other hand, he enters the “black” list of the offenders and the … eye of AADE which means that it will always be high on the list of candidates for checking.
