More than two thousand tax inspectors on the streets started combing inventories ten thousand companies with a single goal: to detect tax evasion. When the Morning Post was found, the mega-operation detected evidence between 50 million and 100 million euros that would escape to the public coffers.
The ‘Stocks’ operation began with the standard that since two months ago obliges companies to declare the goods stocks. The Tax Authority, the cross system data e-invoice with the shipping documents, identified 10 131 companies that were doing many orders for goods but did not register sales.
There was a difference of about 30 % between what was reported and what was ordered. By manipulating the billing, companies lowered the VAT and corporate tax due to finance.
These suspicions led the IRS to go into the field. The choice of yesterday relates to the greater rotation of goods during the Christmas season.
These companies will now have to correct their sales returns, and the IRS estimates raise with this correction between 50 million and 100 million.
Until January 31, companies must have made inventories.
The companies concerned belong to the wholesale and retail items such as clothing, toys, household appliances and computer equipment with turnover above 100 thousand euros.
The Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs, Paul Nuncio, had already warned that in 2014 and 2015 would be given priority to inventory control. And in a statement, the Ministry of Finance ensures that this was “the first phase of a comprehensive plan to combat this type of tax evasion and fraud, which will continue in January and February, with the physical counts of goods in stock on the premises enterprises “.
