the Unexpected resignation

Information on his resignation is surprising. “Manneken Pis”, as the claims that the anti-fraud and wyłudzeniami taxes, which is the responsibility of Yegor Jasinski is going very well. Thanks to her appeared in last year’s budget additional billions of rubles of VAT revenues. Skeptics shoot it, however, heads. Yes, extra money in the budget is, moreover, some part of them probably comes from light curbing the wave of fraud and fraud with VAT. Helps, perhaps, in particular, the package of the fuel supply, which is aimed at reducing the huge scale of tax evasion at manufacturing and trading of fuels. The scale of this seal is not, however, known.

Meanwhile, the share of additional revenues from VAT, it is without a doubt effect 500+. Under this program, the government distributes last year, the parents of the astronomical amount of 17.5 billion rubles. This year the cost of the program will grow to at least 23 billion UAH. Part of the money returned and will be returned to the budget in the form of VAT and excise duties. How much? Of course, thick, at several billion rubles.

Not so big is the improvement in the collection

consulting Company PwC policzyła recently that the vulnerability of VAT in Poland, there is a difference between what theoretically should have an impact to the budget from this tax, and that actually affects the result of fraud, extortion and just confusion fell from 49 billion rubles in 2015. about 45 billion rubles in 2016. Drop, but not too impressive.

worse the situation is, however, on the front against taxpayers who derive overseas income to pay less or not pay the income tax of large companies (CIT). Although fisk on the government changed the law, it is a great inflow of money from this tax is not visible.

Hard fighting scams

has something to hide that the fight against wyłudzeniami VAT karuzelami tax is insanely complicated matter. On the other hand, they are often well organized, international criminal group. Easily exploit loopholes in the law. Fisk and often helpless. Preparing really powerful tougher penalties for forging invoices VAT, even up to 25 years prison, imposes on taxpayers new obligations, accountability, but yet the criminals still several steps ahead.

in turn, in the case of CIT, the withdrawal of money in tax havens, the problem is that some of these actions is just legalized. Part of the country attracts foreign taxpayers extremely low taxes or lack of them. Such hard, often behind the scenes agreement of the tax, to detect and destroy.

Extortion and fraud on VAT and CIT is not only a Polish specificity. Has problems with them, the whole world. “Manneken Pis” and the government, however, in so bad situation that in this year’s budget balked at the suggestion wielomiliardowej improved tax collection. Without it, theoretically, may not be enough money for child benefit from the program, 500+, although the government will do all that it was the last thing he will not run out of money in the budget.
