With a fully coordinated business, the auditors of the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) made a raid on her well -known vessels Santoriniwhich carry out the daily cruises around the island.
At the time, when dozens of boats were tied to the ports of Vlychada and Akrotiri in Santorini – Lady Tourists – AADE’s auditors began checking, after information and data they had gathered.
Tourist vessels (daily cruise ships, vessels, catamaran etc) in Santorini use various ways to conceal revenue (such as inaccurate issuance of tax data, total charter circumvention, etc.), and therefore do not collect and do not collect and do not pay and do not pay and do not pay and I’ll take you. “
The AADE auditors arrived in Santorini from various DOUs from all over Greece, without being… familiar to the island and pretended to be a… carefree ride between the crowd, which was on the pier, waiting to tie the tourist boats after the sunset.
As soon as the boats began to arrive, in order to land the passengers on the pier, the auditors wore the AADE vests and took out the tablets, surprisingly starting the action. That is to say, the tax audit, that is to say, in order to determine the proper implementation of tax legislation by businesses operating in maritime tourism.
The findings
A total of 23 vessels were checked and violations were found in 10 of them, with a 43%offensive rate. All of the violations were for non -issuance or inaccurate issuance of receipts, as well as the payment of cash from customers for amounts of more than EUR 500 (without interbank deposit).
The fines imposed are overall 14,140 eurosand the projected 10 financial penalties, a total of 20,000 euros.
But now, these businesses have been controlled in depth for years to determine their tax behavior and intersect – based on mydata data – if there are other violations.
Checks continue intensively across the country.
