The National Economy and Finance Ministry is planning special teams that will look for ways to violate tax legislation and electronic systems, with the aim of further limiting tax evasion.
The teams will consist of tax administration auditors, as well as external collaborators, who will undertake to find the loopholes in the provisions of tax legislation that lead to tax evasion.
Essentially, they will be asked to determine how they could pay less tax based on existing legislation, to check new provisions and how they could get violated, and to trick electronic systems, such as electronic books and the input-output system, without being noticed.
Tax evaders are known to be one step ahead of auditors and the legislation, overcoming – at least until recently – the obstacles that the tax authorities put up relatively easily. Now the government and the tax authorities will start to think like tax evaders, reversing the process. First, they will find a way to evade taxes and then they will propose measures to deal with them.
In the first phase, they will examine the legislation to propose solutions to deal with tax evasion, while at the same time, based on tax evasion statistics, they will focus on the most common cases that the evaders use to shortchange the state.
