– Inspectors focus on areas where tax offenders, operate on a large scale. So it was last year, and this strategy we will be guided by this year – said Deputy Minister Królikowska, which also acts as the General Inspector of Fiscal Control.
The most recent, preliminary data of the Ministry of Finance show that inspectors have conducted in the past year, more than 10 thousand. Treasury control, which is slightly less than in 2013. (by 0.7 per cent.). Their effectiveness, however, was incomparably higher than in the previous year. While in 2013. Failed to detect phishing taxes on the amount of approx. 6.2 billion zł, whereas this year it was almost 10.2 billion zł (plus 63.1 percent).. For comparison, in 2012. Almost as much control led to the detection of fraud in the amount of 3.7 billion zł.
– This is a significant increase in the effectiveness of controls. Inspectors do not waste time dealing with the finer fraud – commented Królikowska.
Large-scale VAT fraud
almost 8.9 billion zł detected last year related to VAT fraud. The scale of fraud in the excise duty, PIT and CIT amounted to approx. 400 million and 450 million zł zł. In total, last year in con nection with tax inspections managed to secure the property for the amount of 3.9 billion zł, (while a year earlier it was approx. 2.3 billion zł). – This is the amount that will be recovered. It is possible that it will be higher – she added.
Deputy Minister also revealed details regarding the conduct of inspections last year with the fuel tanks exceeding the boundaries of the country. The activities were conducted at the border in June, September and December last year. Stopped the 3.5 thousand. tanks, overexpose 10.6 thousand. shipping documents. – Effects showed that it was very hit idea. According to the data on December 20 last year, inspectors discovered the tax extortion estimated at € 450 million zł, initiated control over 181 companies and secured assets for a total amount of 100 mln zł – said.
According to the Ministry of Finance, in the first three quarters of last year, inspectors discovered phishing taxes (VAT and excis e duties) by entities in the fuel in the amount of nearly 2 billion zł. Losses related to the state budget in the VAT tax crimes related to electronics in 2012-2014 was estimated to be approx. 1.4 billion zł, although the completion of all proceedings may lead to the determination of more than 3.5 million zł unpaid tax.
Virtual offices in the center of attention
Inspectors also took a closer look at companies using the so-called. virtual offices. In 2014. conducted more than 900 inspections. The completed 324 investigations revealed defraud the amount of approx. 3.2 billion zł (84 per cent. Related to VAT). The Ministry of Finance estimates that the remaining proceedings will lead to additional findings of approx. 3.5 billion zł.
Deputy Minister announced that in 2015. Stamp duty will continue to control the actions taken in the past year, using the tools used in 2014. “The objectives have not changed – we focus on indust ries where there is the largest tax fraud” – said the deputy minister. Announced that inspectors will work – so I did in the past year – with the services subject to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Attorney General.
Just like last year, fiscal control will put emphasis on analytical work related to the prediction of their respective owners overexposed. Thanks to last year in some areas 95 percent. control was successful Treasury. The point is not to waste time inspectors and contractors to conduct inspections in companies that fraud have nothing in common.
– Our goal for this year is even faster interventions inspectors, because statistically one month operation of the entity involved in extortion of taxes was a loss to the budget of approx. 1.2 million zł. So we want to stop as soon as the activity – she said. Just like last year, will go under the microscope entities of the industries which have the greatest irregul arities, and so we will be an area of fuel and electronics.
indicated that the Ministry will adjust to the changes associated activities including with the introduction of higher security paid by oil companies, or the reverse VAT in trade with some electronic devices. – I see that our increased control activity in the electronics and the announcement of an inverted scale VAT fraud causes a drop – she added. Reported that inspectors will continue to watch as those trading sweets, rapeseed oil, tea, or coffee, because in these industries is increasingly confronted with scams.
Asked whether the Ministry of Finance issued a recommendation inspectors, so ran checks to 80 percent. of them ended in fraud detection Królikowska said she would have liked to efficacy was one hundred percent. She assured that the MF guidelines say about 80 percent. effectiveness of the checks carried out on the basis of indications through analyzes carried out by the so-ca lled. centers of competence, and not all the controls. These centers are researching specific risk areas eg. Fuel or electronics in the whole country.
– Do not look for abnormalities force because it did not control or predict subjects randomly, just go where we are confident that we are dealing with fraud. 80 per cent. is a measure of the proceedings of the controls selected by the competence center – she pointed out.
