President of the Tax Workers Union (STI) revealed this Monday, March 7, the VIP list has already had 29 cases, 15 of which opened this year. Some of these cases involve the consultation of tax information of former Prime Minister José Sócrates, says the Daily News on the issue on Tuesday.
Speaking to Lusa, Paul said Ralha “tax secrecy control works only under media people and the ‘VIP list’ home is this extended time.” This list does not honor democracy and causes “serious constraints” in combating fraud and tax evasion, because it leads to “self-censorship” of own employees of the Tax Authority (AT), added the president of STI.
the existence of the designated ‘VIP list’ aT was known in late September 2014 and has begun because of a filter set up to four contributors (the President of the Republic, Cavaco Silva, former Prime Minister Steps Coelho, former deputy Prime Minister Paulo Portas and former Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs Paulo Nuncio) that every time they were surveyed, gave rise to the issuance of an alert in the system, widely considered discriminatory procedure protection of tax secrecy of some taxpayers, more media.
So far, the VIP list was summarized in two reports, one of the Finance Inspectorate (IGF) and other National Commission Data Protection (NCDP), pointing the reports of both entities finger four responsible for its creation, but whose outcome or progress of proceedings – particularly if given or may not lead to any inquiry – is unknown by the STI itself.
“at this time, all media contributors, related to finance, politics or business, constitute a ‘VIP list’, ie the caste of VIP extended,” said Paulo scolds, explaining that there is no ‘VIP list’ on paper, at least with access to all IRS workers, but stating that the extension is “obvious”.
at this point, are pending 29 of those cases, 15 of which opened this year, said the union leader, adding that were filed about 10% of cases of ‘VIP list’ open and that the remaining 90% went to disciplinary proceedings and ended in written reprimand and suspended sentence (six months).
“in fact, all of the processes put in place, it can be concluded that there is no matter to punish the workers,” he said, arguing that it may not want to fight fraud when you do not create measures that allow workers to make this fight.
Since September 29, 2014, when it was known the existence of the ‘VIP list’, have already been opened 150 cases, said Paul Ralha, insisting that in a democratic society, there should be no constraints with regard to the fiscal contribution of all.
