Public Announcement from the General Directorate of Taxation: Those who alter the payroll declaration with a reduction and cancel sales invoices without reflecting them in the purchase books will face criminal prosecution.

Tax Administration Notifies all taxpayers that it has identified two high-risk phenomena:

  1. Taxpayers who make downward adjustments to their payroll tax returns in order to avoid paying social security and health insurance contributions for employees.;
  2. Taxpayers who cancel invoiced sales without reflecting these cancellations in their customers' Purchase Books.

“We inform all taxpayers that these unjustified amendments to declarations, primarily the alteration of the payroll statement, directly undermine not only the Tax Administration but also the employee's pension and medical services, and are considered a criminal offense under the law.

The Tax Administration clarifies.

The Tax Administration also emphasizes that it is investigating whether employees of its structures are involved in these phenomena, while bringing this and any taxpayer's attention to the fact that the aforementioned phenomena will be handled in accordance with the Law “On Tax Procedures.”.
